You ask why I stay in the mountains
I smile without speaking, my heart content
Peach blossoms in the stream float into the distance
There’s another realm beyond
the world of people.

this love is beyond
Those
who do not feel this
love pulling them like a river,
those who do not drink dawn like a cup
of springwater or take in sunset
like supper, those who do not
want to change, let
them sleep.
This love
is beyond the study
of theology, that old trickery
and hypocrisy. If you want
to improve your mind
that way, sleep
on.
I have
given up on my brain.
I have torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away. If you are not
completely naked, wrap your
beautiful robe of words
around you, and
sleep.
guide others by relying on tao
The
best leader is one
whose existence is barely known.
Next best is one who is loved and praised.
After that, one who is feared. Worst
of all is a leader who is
despised.
If you
fail to trust people,
you won’t inspire their trust.
Therefore, guide others by quietly
relying on Tao. Then, when the
work is done, the people can
say, “We did this
ourselves.”
