I trained and I trained and I trained and I trained,
Seasons passed, it snowed and it rained,
Then summer came and what did I find?
Centre and the understanding mind.
I trained and I trained and leaves fell to the ground,
Returning to earth, colours, hues all around,
Life in action, I looked, what did I find?
Universal Ki and the kindness mind.
I trained and I trained and now nature seemed real,
From nothing came everything to feel and reveal,
The universe singing with joy what did I find?
Infinite capacity mother nature and earths mind.
I trained and I trained through both ups and downs,
Even to depths with darkness all around,
Pierced by a light I entered what did I find?
Expansion and Oneness, universal loving mind.
I trained and I trained I learned and I taught,
Through the spiral of loving protection I sought,
To find the unfindable then what did I find?
A diamond, a pearl, a reflection left behind.
