When your mind is full of worry

take a jug

& place it on the table

of your heart.

Fill the jug

with love & compassion 

until the jug is overflowing

& your heart is expanding.

This love & compassion,

this expansion,

will flow to every corner & niche

of your mind,

& continue on like a river

to reach that

for which you worry.

Oh when that river

of love & compassion

flows from your sad heart,

what gladness walks the land!

So, so, much better...

in place of worry...

the table is set,

jug is full--

warm peace.
