Mudita - Noaa Rienecker

Life is about
Other people.

It may seem to be
About you,

But when it seems
That way,

It sucks
A lot.

To grin at a friend’s
Good fortune,

To fall headlong, without thought,
Into a beautiful woman's
Everything,

To see a teacher reunite
With an old pupil,

To do something small
And kind for no reason
But because-

I haven't yet seen
A thing more sacred.
