Tonight's Zelda's Inferno exercise: wordlist on the topic "spiritual progress". Write a poem using eight words from the following list: struggle *grace *knowledge *perseverance *clarity *breezes *mountains vibration blockage introspection burden relationship blindspot hoping growing sitting caring *climbing *translucent covered loose heartfelt ubiquitous
to persevere -
this is the single law
keep showing up, and then progress is made
mountains are climbed in increments of inches
so knowledge comes in drops that fill the sea
enlightenment is not an stable thing
the world becomes translucent for a glance
then resumes its weight of suffering
don't try to hold that bit of clarity
or even perfect grace becomes a burden
a ship at sail has to release its anchor
to catch the breezes that can move it on
so catch the wind when it may blow your way
and man the oars when you become becalmed
with perseverance you will cross the ocean
and arrive upon the other shore
