Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

In the face of the unknown, a mix of emotions arise,
Awe, apprehension, and excitement intertwine and comprise.
As I stand on the precipice of a transformative quest,
Feelings of uncertainty and anticipation put me to the test.

Uncertainty, a companion that whispers in my ear,
Filling my heart with doubt, heightening my fear.
But I have learned to embrace its presence with grace,
For within uncertainty, new possibilities find their place.

I navigate the labyrinth of the unknown with an open mind,
Knowing that growth and discovery await me, I find.
With each step forward, I shed the shackles of doubt,
Fueling my resolve to move forward, to explore without.

Apprehension may weigh heavy, casting shadows on my path,
But I have learned to see it as a catalyst for growth’s aftermath.
It urges me to challenge my limits, to push beyond,
Embracing the discomfort, emerging resilient and strong.

In the midst of apprehension, I find the fuel to strive,
A burning determination that helps me come alive.
It ignites my passion, propels me forward with might,
Transforming uncertainty’s darkness into a guiding light.

And then there is excitement, a flame within my soul,
An electric current that propels me towards my goal.
It stirs my spirit, fills my veins with anticipation,
Fueling my resolve to embrace the journey’s initiation.

Excitement is the wind beneath my wings as I soar,
A constant reminder of the treasures that lie in store.
It whispers of untold wonders, of experiences to gain,
Fanning the flames of curiosity, keeping doubt at bay.

With these emotions intertwined, I navigate the unknown,
Balancing apprehension, excitement, and the seeds I’ve sown.
For within the dance of uncertainty and anticipation’s glow,
Lies the fertile ground where transformation can grow.

I fuel my resolve with the knowledge that within the unknown,
Lie opportunities for growth, for seeds to be sown.
With each step, each leap of faith, I embrace the uncharted,
Knowing that within the uncertainty, my true potential is charted.

So, I navigate this transformative journey with an open heart,
Embracing the unknown, guided by my creative art.
With awe, apprehension, and excitement as my guide,
I stride forth with resolve, embracing the unknown’s tide.
