If life was a house
Should it not be built serenely?
Build it not on sand for sand is easily displaced
Build it not upon dirt for dirt is of sand
But build it upon a stone
A stone not of desire but of love
For love is forever
If life was a house
Should it not be built of walls that are sturdy?
Not of desire for desire changes and is not sturdy
Not of ignorance for that would be foolish
But of True knowledge born of experience
Only through experience is knowledge obtained
If life was a house
Should it not have a roof as a provider of protection to the dwellers within?
A roof is sturdy as its walls
Thus build it not of Intelligence
But only with the essence that is born of knowledge
Thus, it is of wisdom that the roof is built
If life was a house
Should not the beauty of the inside match what is outside?
For the essence without comes from the essence within
If life was a house
How would you build yours?
