Do Not Analyze Hope

Why do you look at a flower
And desperately try to analyze its essence?
Do not do so;
Instead, simply surrender your body to its sweet fragrance.

You are not gods.
Be grateful, and simply enjoy the moment.
For within that very fleeting instant,
The true law and truth of the universe exist.

You are, after all, beings destined to die.
Yet, even while knowing our mortality,
We live on, holding onto hope.
Therefore, do not dare to analyze that hope!

Even if hope remains invisible to our eyes,
Your beating heart has already
Fully awakened to its sacred existence.

"Stop analyzing hope. Just let your heart beat."
