inspiration in a shower stall

flee from the crowd and dwell with truthfulness.
be satisfied with what you have, it may be small.
to hoard brings hate,
to climb brings dizziness.
the crowd has envy and success binds all.
be happy with what to your lot may fall.
work well yourself to counsel others clear.
and full-truth,
hard work,
God's law,
shall make you free!
there
is
no
fear!

torment yourself not,
all the crooked to redress.
nor put your trust in fortune's turning ball.
great peace is found in little busyness.
and war but kicks against an age-old wall!
strive not you earthen pot to break that wall!
subdue yourself and others you shall hear!
and full-truth,
hard work,
God's law,
shall make you free!
there
is
no
fear!

what God does send,
receive in glad-whole-someness!
to strive for greater wealth foretells thy fall.
here is no home,
here is but wilderness.
forth pilgrim,
forth!
up beast and leave thy stall!
know your country,
look up!
thank God for all!
hold to the higher way,
your soul,
God with in you!
be a pioneer!
and full-truth,
hard work,
God's law,
shall make you fee!
there
is
no
fear!

therefore,
poor beast,
forsake thy wretchedness!
no longer let this world be thy stall.
His mercy seek,
who in His mightiness made you of dust,
but not to be a ball!
work well yourself and work for all.
who seek for larger life and deeper cheer!
and full-truth,
hard work,
God's law,
shall make you free!
THERE
IS
NO
FEAR!

inspiration can be found anywhere...
