“Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.”

“Do not give the people around you the power over your heart, your mind or your soul. Only one has power over you, for He resides in Heaven with his Angels. Do not allow the thoughts or words of others within the confines of your soul. You are destined for greatness in the light. For as you travel on this path in life you are never alone”
