The Hidden Path: Revealed at Last

Take a look,  after all.
Has berating yourself,
being  unhappy with yourself and others,
things and events,  produced happiness
or unhappiness?
With all this criticism,
blame,  hurt,  fault-finding
has improvement taken place?
Do you now,  at last,
have every reason
to be happy with yourself?
Leave well enough alone.
Appreciate this carrot,  cabbage,
cucumber,  and cress,  this time
with the less than perfect.
The remarkable flavor you have
searched for is everywhere.
Let it come home
to your heart.
