The Price of Learning

The more I learn,
the deeper my ignorance.

First Cell

What made
the first cell

split?

River's Source

Satisfaction flows
from emptiness,
not from fullness.

Passion flows
from awareness,
not from dedication.

Insight flows
from silence,
not from seeking.

Alone in a Crowd

Moving alone in the middle of a crowd
and not sure which direction to go,
how can I not help but feel lost and small?

Moving alone in the middle of a crowd
and trusting which direction to go,
how can I not help but feel right at home?

Three Theories

Justice is blind.
Peace is fleeting.
Mercy is forever.

Cracked

A mind cracked by distractions
is a vessel ready for truth.

It Takes Patience

It takes patience to move a mountain.

Worn Out

Sometimes I'm worn out
after a long day of working.

Sometimes I'm worn out
after a long day of playing.

Sometimes I'm worn out
after a long day of doing nothing.

Working is the most satisfying.
Playing is the most fun.
Doing nothing is the most difficult.

Spoiled

If I stare out a window
because I'm waiting
anxiously for someone,
am I not spoiling
a beautiful view
with worry?

Fearless

Trust the future
to be okay.

When Light Arrives

When light arrives,
walls fall down.

Tranquility

Is tranquility like
a glassy lake at dawn?

Or is tranquility
like a stone in the middle of a river?

One is broken 
by a single drop of rain.

The other is broken
only by time.
