Even better
Pursue your every passion where it leads,
No holding back, no room for second thoughts,
No moral calculations, shoulds or oughts,
But cultivate desires as sacred seeds.
What will they grow to? Ay, there lies the catch.
Best efforts may not reach what you desire;
Your dreams and well-formed plans go up in fire;
You learn that individual will’s no match
For fate alive in universal mind.
Your passion was a tool toward other ends —
But just when you feel angry and distraught,
You see that you have not been left behind:
An unexpected giving hand extends
To you with something better than you’ve sought.
