Hay-Ku of the Day (Lasting Happiness)

(The Golden Rule Photograph)

The Golden Rule (2007); This related photo is by my buddy, Dr. Ira Fox, and the computer quote is from his book, "Who Ate the Apple"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

I must sacrifice
Interest in thought to know
Myself as I Am.

If I do not stop
Minding thought instead of Life
I can't be happy.

Lasting happiness
Comes from losing Interest
In self-conception.

[Rich Note: Another related Jackie Okeeffe inspirational quote: "To feel and experience real happiness, causeless happiness, requires a conscious or unconscious surrendering of your interest in thoughts." (www.jackieokeeffe.com).]
