The streaming river


ever flows,
and yet, the water
never is
the same.

Foam floats upon the pools,


scattering, re-forming,
never lingering long.

So it is with man
and all his dwelling places
here on earth.

we must not be
attached.

Yet the way


I love this hut
is itself attachment.

To be attached
to the quiet and serene
must likewise be a burden.

No more time shall I waste


speaking of useless pleasures.
