Intention

You are what your deepest desire is.
As your desire is, so is your intention.
As your intention is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.

Life is

One of the great tasks in life
is to look the present straight
in the eye and let what is
extraneous fall away.
