INTO THE GREEN Thirsty and footsore, as you walk in the heat of the day Sudden disasters come out of the sky, out of nowhere — Like a bird whose nest has plummeted out of a tree To find yourself in peace, go deep into the wilderness.
SPEEDING The man’s in a hurry and the horses are in danger on the road, To lose a company of soldiers means you’re both in trouble It’s like a broken vessel, blown through the rushing gorge... Sunlight fades the blossoms, and Heaven sends down frost.
PRESENCE Don t you understand that everything here is what matters? To find the jade, go beyond the boundaries of your skin — You can’t do better than wait for the chun to manifest, I tell you, this is the best thing — no question about it.
