Taosim

When you're falling do not struggle
Let the pebbles under your feet guide you to a basecamp of opportunity.

It was never meant to be a continuous climb.
More of a climb and fall.

Look at music,
Look at light waves,
Such is the way of nature.
Who are we to defy that?

Be like water, flow.

Il Presente

There are beings
who say and do.
They live in the future,
always making plans.

There are beings
who say, but don't do.
They live in the past,
dwelling on intentions.

There are beings
who don't say, but do.
They live in the now,
and are fully present.

*What will you choose?
What did you choose?
What do you choose?
