How elegant is the morning sun
Shining on the rafters and eaves.

Clear Mind

Green waters and verdant mountains
are the places to walk in meditation;
by the streams or under the trees
are places to clear the mind.

Think Not

Though I think not
To think about it,
I do think about it
And shed tears
Thinking about it.

weak as water

There is nothing in the world
So weak as water,
Nor anything strong enough
To overcome it.
The person of great wisdom
Is like water which,
Though benefiting all things,
Never strives.
- Lao-tzu
