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
