Of Names

source

Su is good

And Man is mind

Sumana is then

The possessor

Of a good mind

Literal translation

Of my name in English

Sounds somewhat like that

I am content

And who would not be

If one can become

The chalice of a divine virtue

By the virtue of one’s name?

    Oh I love that meaning.. sounds both wise and open, both open to learn and to teach.. such blessing in a name, and I love the thoughts that went into it when your parents gave it to you,

    I love the last two as well and the dissection and then re-connection of your name...I love the use of 'chalice.' Excellent poem.
