A river never cuts through the landscape.

It bends and follows the grooves of the Earth.

It does not hoard its life-giving water.

All beings are welcome to sip from it.


The sun shines on the righteous and wicked.

The rays hit both the living and the dead.

Light produces every shadow on Earth.

The shadows are just as necessary.


Every foot can step freely on the ground.

All paths are open, but not all worthwhile.

Journeys can begin and end everywhere.

It is simply a matter of choosing.


Freedom is the natural order here.

So let what happens happen as it should.

Accepting things as they are sets you free.

Complete your life and death is no horror.
