Earth Prayer for the day...

[willowoak]

Clouds and mountains all tangled together up to the blue sky
a rough road and deep woods without any travellers
far away the lone moon a bright glistening white
nearby a flock of birds sobbing like children
one old man     perched in these green mountains
a small shack     the retired life     letting my hair grow white
pleased with the years gone by     happy with today
mindless this life is like water flowing east

     --Han-Shan
