A Poem from Brodie

This is a poem from our very own Brodie, written as part of a mitra study project and inspired by the seven fold puja. Thank you for sharing your inspiration Brodie.

Sevenfold Poem

Offering simply devotion and gratitude,

Here to bathe in wisdom,

Manifest clarity,

I invite you here.

Enamoured by your acquisitions,

This privilege will not be squandered.

Starved by ignorance,

Saturated by Dharma.

Excruciating awareness of my shortcomings,

Using them as planes for refinement,

To personify the vajra strike.

Awe struck by nature,

Moved by the kindness within,

Touched by the potential without.

A lifetime of inner agony,

Focus now eternally outward.

No quietus will I seek,

Until your goal has been actualised.

I invite you to stay.
