I find the Gary Snyder poem "For the Children" beautiful in its simplicity;
“stay together,
know the flowers
go light”
And hopefulness;
“In the next centuryor the one beyond that,they say,are valleys, pastures,we can meet there in peaceif we make it.”
Being simple and hopeful is fine but it’s also good to be grateful for all that we have.
Fun fact- Gary Snyder is the basis for the character Japhy Ryder in Jack Kerouac’s novel ”Dharma Bums”.
