Can You?

Can you think when you want to think?

And stop when you don’t 

Can you use your imagination at Will 

Can you accept without regret 

And adapt to change

 

Can you give without remembering 

And receive without forgetting 

Can you find joy in simple things 

And not be easily impressed  

 

Can you be content with what you have? 

But not give up on your ambition 

Can you enjoy the company of friends 

But enjoy solitude as well 

 

Can you connect with people 

But not be too attached 

Can you as a grown-up  

Carry the curiosity of a child 

 

Can you seize the gap between your thoughts 

And widen this gap with intend 

To delve into pure consciousness 

Can you? 

If you can, you will the hold the world in the palm of your hand.
