open-mindedness

Áine on March 29th, 2006 filed in Random Poems

If we take one thing to be the truth
And cling to it,
Even if truth itself comes in person
And knocks at our door,
We won’t open it.
For things to reveal themselves to us,
We need to be ready to abandon our views about them.

—Thich Nhat Hanh
