A Hundred Wonderful Gifts
The words of a true teacher can bring
to my mind and soul
such nourishment and life,
like the way the valleys of the earth cup
their hands for light and drink;
like the way the desert opens up its sweet mouth,
and laughs, when someone melts pearls in the sky,
and rain, rain returns like a divine lover;
with a hundred wonderful gifts.
What would your 100 wonderful gifts be? Family? Friends? Kindness? Laughter? Dessert? A smile? A sunrise? A snowstorm? Another interesting question is "What has been your most meaningful purchase under $100?" I've always liked this question because it forces people to think of meaningful purchases apart from their home, their car, their vacation to XYZ, etc.
