Reaching the Source

Oxherding Picture by Gyokusei Jikihara

 

Too many steps have been taken
returning to the root and the source.
Better to have been blind and deaf
from the beginning!
Dwelling in one’s true abode,
unconcerned with and without –
The river flows tranquilly on
and the flowers are red.

I have abandoned the whip and ropes
