I am of the nature to grow old.
There is no way to escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill-health,
There is no way to escape having ill-health.

I am of the nature to die.
There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love
are of the nature to change.

There is no way to escape being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings.

I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground on which I stand.

The Coach agrees . . . with Buddha’s sensible and practical
words. And, so, I am making greener choices.
