The Wind and the Earth

The timeless journey

Moving freely
Unencumbered by time
The past and future
Are not as sacred as the present
Goals and expectations and aspirations
Do not guide you
Reality very rarely coincides
With its ideals

You are the wind
You are the traveler
Neither on the run
Nor on a quest
You travel because you are free
And unattached
You are the contemplator
And the contemplated

The Tao moves through you
As you move through it
You are the tower on the mountain
From which all the land can be seen
And you are the landmark
Seen by those below
You are the meaning
Which transcends the journey
