We must be authentic

We must be authentic,
being at peace in our person,
We must witness to our own truth,
the path, on our life’s journey…
 
We must share openly,
our genuine self, naked,
We must offer ourselves,
the world, on our life’s journey…

We must be authentic
 
“Our own life has to be our message.”
Quote of Thích Nhất Hạnh,
found in his August 9, 2004 book,
The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology
