“Footsteps of the Mind”

“Footsteps of the Mind” 

 

The Buddha said there’re eight steps to take –

Once with right vision  – one beholds –

A goal which leads them along a path –

“True reality” to unfold

 

Such a journey of the mind –

We often do begin –

Our thoughts they wander and then progress –

Refusing to be confined

 

The footsteps of the mind –

Go their own erratic way –

Try as we might – them to control –

We can but seldom they belay
