Swimming Upstream

One who is pure and sees
Who speaks the truth
And lives it
Who does one’s one work, one’s calling
That person is admired and loved

Who is determined and longs for freedom
Beyond the desiring mind
They call that person uddha-soto, one who goes upstream

[where we are welcomed]
When a traveler at last comes home from a far journey
--With such gladness do our families and friends receive us.”

-- Dhammapada 16
