MOUNTAIN WATER

“Sunlight illuminates Incense Burner Peak, kindling violet smoke;
from afar, a waterfall hangs before the river.
Water flies straight down three thousand feet—
Has the silver stream of our galaxy plunged from highest heaven?”

-Li Bai

When I was out singing beneath the stars.
It is remarkably contagious -
So kiss me.”

EMPTINESS

“Understanding emptiness is not about nihilism (that nothing exists), but about freedom from ego, clinging, and fear. By realizing that the self and its suffering are not inherently fixed or solid, one can experience liberation from attachments and experience profound connection and compassion.“

-Elisabeth Rochat

even before the birches tremble.“

FORGOTTEN THOUGHT

Whatever it is you are struggling to remember,
it is not poised on the tip of your tongue
or even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen.

It has floated away down a dark mythological river
whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall.”

-Billy Collins

CHINESE GEOMANCY TALISMAN TO PREVENT GREAT RAINFALL AND WIND

“Cloud formations are associated with the movement of spirits, which are believed to dwell in the mist, emerging suddenly to manifest themselves before human beings. These spiritual contacts could be controlled by the magic power of calligraphy, and manifest their magic power from cloud formations. They are believed to have special powers to enable man to communicate with the spirit world.”

-Laszlo Legeza

(From a 19th-century Taoist weather-manual).
