Emptiness contains all


Some people do amazing things
Me, I prefer to do nothing

The small buds have already appeared on
the tree  outside my window
and it is still winter

The universe moves with grace
Controlling nothing, yet always reigning
supreme
It has no way, but always gets its way
It has no desire to love, but is love in and
of itself
It has no goals, but is an end in itself
It behaves according to conditions, but is
unaffected by conditions
It is detached from the coming and going
Yet comes and goes freely anywhere and at
anytime
It is not made of mind, but mind relies on it
to survive....
It cannot be contained, but is the container
and
the contained
It cares not whether something contains
itself,
but
moves about all hard substances like a rocky
river
bed
making its way to the ocean
The rocks being of its nature... it is unaffected
by substance
It is all substances
It is no substance
It stays the same no matter what happens
just shifts here and there
It changes places
But doesn't move
It doesn't exert itself, but gets what needs
to be done... done
Such is the way of non-doing

The birds call comes out of nowhere
and leaves no trace to follow
the traffic outside sounds like the ocean
The sun is making an appearance though it
never went anywhere
I am here and that is all
Relying on everthing this very moment
Yet doing nothing

Some people do amazing things
Achievements beyond imagination
Me, I prefer to do nothing
No need to exert myself
No need to become anything
Emptiness contains all
