                                   sunrise —
                                   mountain stream flows
                                   through itself

                                    sitting silently —
                                    earth birthing life
                                    no effort
             
                                    river joining sea —
                                    no moment of union
                                    just so

                                    trees calm —
                                    not moving nor still
                                    perfect practice

                                    inner journey —
                                    fish searching for water
                                    while swimming

                                    no path —
                                    only an eagle's wings
                                    parting the wind

                                                          no one hears 
                                                          dewdrops on grass
                                                          without listening
