What is the difference between assent and denial?
What is the difference between beautiful and ugly?
What is the difference between fearsome and afraid?
What is the difference between light and the dark?
What is the difference between muddy and clear
What is the difference between dead and alive?
For in all there is clarity and it abounds there, before you..

Like a newborn before it learns to smile,
I have nothing to lose....in it my being can be discovered
In order to find strength, you must first become weak,
In order to find knowledge, you must first become blank,
Alone, with no true home, I have finally found it..

Muddled and cloudy my waters are vague,
They show the pain of my life,
Swirling there in their currents,
My past is alive, I cannot see for the mud,
Be calm and settled as a gentle mountain pond,
By seeing the bottom, you can reach to the top,

The people are merry as if at a magnificent party
Or playing in the park at springtime,
But I am tranquil and wandering, yet compelled
The people have enough and to spare,
Where I have nothing, yet it pleases me
The people are bright and certain,
Where I am dim and confused, yet drawn
The people are clever and wise,
Where I am dull and ignorant, yet free
Let the people have their cares,
Does a flower have to spin, or cry
To show me that is it beautiful,
Aimless as a wave drifting over the sea,
Castaway is my choice for nothing,
Attached to nothing, afloat evermore,
I become yet ever closer to the shore..

The people are busy with purpose,
Where I am impractical and rough;
I do not share the peoples' cares,
Nor shall I start, for my cares are irrelevant,
And being free of them leads me to he,
To be fed at breast of the mother,
Unhindered by cares and duty Im awake...

Her strength makes me ......
Lost as though I could never be found,
I nurture at my loss, grateful for the task,
In the way Im found without it I have been lost....
