Do you know how to let the
mountain stream cleanse your mind?

Every thought is pulled out along the smooth,
polished stones, disappearing
downstream in the frothy current.

The mind keeps on making more thoughts
until it sees that they are
all being carried away downstream;
until it realizes that they
are all vanishing,
dissolving into an unseen point.

Then it won’t bother for awhile.
