Finding Value in Self

Michael Degenhardt on Aug 24, 2009

Life’s distractions can totally obscure the true us, cast them away and take a closer look.

There is no affirmation of self within a shattered mirror

Nor, can it be granted by the constant ripples of a pond

It can only be felt within the silence, the peace of mind

That exists within the reflective view of solid thought

Ergo, when you cleanse yourself of wasteful distraction

You will find the you that has been waiting all along
