Age Old Wisdom Retold

What is this vibrant void of no-thingness? Fret not, oh hermit! The truth is thus revealed: the visible world is thought, which is preceded by desire, birthed by our narrow ego cravings, a dream world, by our thought thus created. Why then, is there so much suffering here? The answer, hermit, lies in the breeze; flowing without pausing, with ease! Movement, life; stagnation, death. Indulgence in desire, cause of suffering. Let us then flow, embracing vibrant love! 28-November-2020
