Joy product of not
Contentment product of not
As soon as I let go
Sometimes, nature conspires to inspire
Arrives the wood snake, as a reminder
As a timely reminder, to expand inward
Reverse the direction to search
Beseech the searcher to befriend
The searched, peel off the layers
To prepare the field, to reach
The unreachable, just a tad beyond
Be a Buddhist, or Daoist, or Confucianist
Or Anyist or Nonist
No matter your path
Move inward
As the wood snake
Arrives
2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake. In Daoism, the wood refers to returning to one’s true nature.
