A Proverb.

Assume nothing,     Know everything.

Ask and listen,
     The key to being a trusted friend.

I the Lord do not Change.
     But Son of Man, you are flawed.
You must change, so do not be afraid of water.
     Not when it is raging,
          nor when it is still.

When dwelling in the house of your fore father;
     accept each gift with a grateful heart.
But be cautious of those too foolish to fast.

Rest when told to rest.
     Wait when told to wait.
Stay diligent when assigned to the watchtower.
     But if you do the latter before the former,
           you will be found asleep in the bed of fools.
But the man who leaps from the highest peak with proper restraint,
     is praised among kings of every nation.

I have hunger,
    you have thirst.
Together we bicker and curse.
     But the answer for both is the same.
Stop longing for fresh milk
     and drink the cup you ignored to begin with.
Beginning to end is the only way.
     Then you shall be covered with glory.

If you are caught on a merry-go-round,
     after your eleventh year;
          and yell to the wind,"Life is not fare!"
Then shame will soon follow.
     But the blessing are of heavenly realm
     for the one who stops, and climbs onto the rock.

Humility without wisdom
     becomes a mat on the ground.
Wisdom without humility is an ugly tree,
     too stubborn to lose its leaves.
Find them both and your fruit will multiply.
