“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
Padre
