nothing but the Way itself.

Birds chirping, dogs run, mountains are high, 

valleys low. It’s all perfect wisdom!

The seasons change, the stars shine in

the heavens; it’s perfect wisdom.

Regardless of whether we realize it or not,

we are always in the midst of the Way.

Or, more strictly speaking, we are

nothing but the Way itself. — Taizan Maezumi
