[A thought that came to mind while having tea three days ago.]
Bean and nut,
dark and pale,
deep red that's almost black,
light earth that's nearly brown.
Each satisfies differing tastes,
of different people,
in different ways.
Yet both are served
in bowls of porcelain white.
Some of us may be beans,
others may be nuts.
Some behave dark and deep,
others bright and shallow.
Whichever our colour,
whatever our nature,
each of us brings fulfilment
in our characteristic way.
Let us all dress ourselves
in attire of pure hearted white,
reaching out to others
in spotless bowls of respect,
with many spoonfuls of courtesy.
Whether
bean or nut,
dark or pale.
