Wisdom is not gained by traveling afar, but by standing still; not by thought, but by the absence of thought.

The Farmer's Pride
Some folks transplant rice for wages,
but I have other reasons.
I watch the sky, the earth, the clouds,
observe the rain, the nights, the days,
keep track, stand guard till my legs
are stone, till the stone melts,
till the sky is clear and the sea calm.
Then I feel at peace.
