Thank you ding dong for posting that poem. It's beautiful.
Steve you're right, we've much to learn that words or guru's can't teach. A wise person can attempt to share their wisdom in the form of writing but you may never fully embrace the depth of what he/she is trying to share then one day you'll go back or stumble across the same writing and find even more then the first time. More appreciation, more gratitude and inspiration.
I think this film has been shared here before, Kumare, but find it fitting to drop in...
