:
I've been trying to have my
left hand/right hand
dialogues to little avail.
Maybe my mind too agitated,
my heart impure.
My heart and mind are
agitated again. What is my
message to the peacemakers,
what to say?
What to say to the peacemakers?
Others have come before
us and bravely faced
terrible injustices.
Many were victorious in
the end.
We are entering on
a year of wonderful thinking.
Full effort is full
victory. Victory will
be ours.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
