Even Poetry can serve as a wise instructor
and "for the first time I know that nothing
has truly been taken from me that I did not give up
by choice "either" consciously/unconsciously
"or" thru subtle ego self motives.


A woman's lesson is a simple lesson:
Whatever life asks, answer with love.

A woman's lesson is a wise lesson:
Whenever conflict threatens, go forth in harmony.

A woman's lesson is an enduring lesson:
Whatever is taken from you, give back in generosity.

A woman's lesson is a gradual lesson:
Whenever there is a storm, remain a calm center.

A woman's lesson is a courageous lesson:
Whenever there is despair, sow the seed of hope.

A woman's lesson is a practical lesson:
Whenever there is dryness, go and get the rain.
