There is strength in solidity to the extent
That it makes the heart hollow so resonance rings.
What’s inside isn’t emptiness. It’s a strong voice
That is heard only by those who listen by choice.
A strong sense of direction is what wisdom brings.
I have learned to achieve goals through firm commitment.

The heart, filled with vibration, distributes life force
To the bell become being. Order I attract.
Thought flow waxes pragmatic. What’s done can take root.
I consume perseverance in my life’s pursuit.
I can adhere to all that is rooted in fact.
All that gives my life meaning must come from my source.

I distinguish what works and what doesn’t by now.
Time to flush what is useless approaches past due.
That I know who I am is apparent to me.
It takes self-understanding to truly be free
From abstractions of failure that rarely ring true.
Things do work out, and I need not think about how.
