Little Steps
Little steps taken alone:
Small moves in isolation;
Growth, progress, all in
Small steps – no hops; the way to concentration,
Higher being, deeper seeing
And the soundest system
To self-wisdom.
With little more to say, small obstacles still in the way,
Not much elucidates the matter better.
Later what’s in store
Is written in the letter
Of the law
of karma:
Chance and luck and ambience,
All in the chain of cause/effect;
Destiny determined, radiated
By decision, persons and location.
Little is by small degrees – but gets there.
Little has a small effect – but gets there.
Little sounds like trivial.
It isn’t.
Little has a goal
and gets where
We’re all headed for sooner
Or later.
