BEING WISE

     There’s but one state of being that is best,
     Achieved by those who prove most truly blessed,
     To which the rest of us ought to aspire
     Because no human consciousness is higher.

     Some call it Cosmic Consciousness, a wise
     Purview from which they carefully devise
     Those values by which happy people live:
     To love, to trust, to cherish and to give.
