“And So, It Goes”
By: Forrest Rivers
One day a great sage approached a beggar on the city street and asked:
“Please, kind sir, tell me what you have learned?”
The beggar eyed the strange man dressed in a monk’s red robe
And quietly replied:
“We are born, we suffer, we find meaning in our suffering, we die and then are reborn.”
A knowing smile broke out across the sage’s face as he bowed to the beggar and said:
“And so, it goes wise one. And so, it goes. “
