Life Lessons from Peppa Pig, CocoMelon, Wishenpoof (TV shows that I watch with my toddler) that help me in self-improvement, like modern-day parables.
Let it blow like the wind
Let the seeds fall where they may
Let the new shoots push up
And greet the brand new day
Let it hold you in peace
And heal all your pain
Nourishing your soul
Like the falling, silent rain
Let the Space be your guide
Let the stillness softly speak
Your efforts are not needed
to climb the mountain peak
Let the Glory be beheld
with a child’s shiny eyes
The beauty and the light
Is it you in disguise?
Let it soften you to yield
like hard oil to a flame
There is nothing to be done
There is only to remain
Let the Space do the work
Let the Space offer love
Let the falling deep inside
Take you to the treasure trove
When there’s hurting or a loss
Let the Space show you how
To find your way back home
To the perfect, present now
