Consider the Poppies. :-P

Walk through life
As one would a field of poppies.
The flowers need not be picked
To be enjoyed.
It is enough that beauty exists.

As a blossom wilts when plucked,
So does a thing die when it becomes owned.
The truest and purest beauty
Lies in freedom.
And so, one contributes to the beauty of the world
By not striving to own,
By letting things be what it is
In their nature to be.
In letting go, we also free ourselves.




(This is what happens when you fall asleep with Buddhism on the brain.)

You Are a Jaguar

You have a knack for reforming, balancing, and even healing people. You see the good in everyone, and you help bad people learn to be better. Even though you connect to people, you can't help but feel separate from everyone else. You often feel like you are on the outside looking in, even with your closest family members and friends.

What Big Cat Are You?

True enough, I s'pose. /:-)

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

Once again, it works.
