Learn the art of...

I have come across this beautiful poem by Sri Chinmoy, who was a was a Bengali and American spiritual teacher, poet, artist and athlete. And the poem syncs a lot with this month's topic. I especially like the last verse: "I wish to be the father of my silver dreams". Here is the poem itself: 

I AM LEARNING  
 
I am learning the art of listening.    
I wish to be an eternal student.

I am learning the art of believing.
I wish to be an eternal believer.

I am learning the art of serving.
I wish to be an eternal servant.

I am learning the art of becoming.
I wish to be    
The father of my silver dreams.
I wish to be    
The son of my golden realities.

Excerpt from The Dance Of Life, Part 2
by Sri Chinmoy


So the advice of the day is: learn the art of living.
