Flight

Flight ... the most natural thing

 

I make my home in the mountains

You ask why I live

alone in the mountain forest,

and I smile and am silent

until even my soul grows quiet:

it lives in the other world,

one that no one owns.

The peach trees blossom.

The water continues to flow.

Li Po

Intent is a choice

Intent is a choice

Direction is a choice

Focus is a choice

There is freedom.

Yet no freedom is the same

 

Light on light

Light on light
Bare line
Nature's weight
borne light.

Of one, of all

Of one, of all

in light, in darkness

Clean and pure.

In here

Out there

So I am.

Beauty is

Beauty is
as can be imagined,
Intent is
as pure as intended.

"Beauty is ...."

Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.

David Hume

"But I'll tell you what hermits realise ...."

But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.

Alan Watts
