Be Thankful for Your Jewels

I just read an interview between author Toni Berhnard and doctor-blogger Elisha Goldstein, PH.D and was introduced to this great ancient poem. Inspired by Ms. Berhnard, I printed this poem too and now keep it in my MS journal as a reminder to be thankful for the jewels in my life despite my MS.

One, seven, three, five –

Nothing to rely on in this or any world;

Nighttime falls and the water is flooded with moonlight.

Here in the Dragon’s jaws:

Many exquisite jewels.

—Setcho Juken
