Ember

From the depths of the staleness of a life half-lived
A spark of recognition comes.
It may only be the sudden joy of encountering a puppy,
or the exploits of a man who has sailed around the world.
What is that spark which unsettles and teases?
It is reformation, reclamation.
What has been lost since childhood, can be found.
Right livelihood is a gem among gems.
It means you find your place, your happiness, your sadhana.

If you find that spark, blow on it. Nurture it.
Let the tiny ember grow until you burst into flame.
And find home.
