"Infinite expanse,sleek ocean teeming with life,
Turbulent, virile, ever-moving spread,
Seamlessly laid to the brilliant sky,
I float on you in my fashioned womb,
Sustained against your green-black depths.
Those on land never understand maritime life.
Those of the sea are intimate with your moods;
They navigate but are ultimately helpless.
Destinations become useless, drifting the sole reality;
A sailor's fears dissolve into acceptance."
Willingness, acceptance, letting go, serenity, sailing on!
Brief commentary/review on the book 365 TAO Daily Meditations by Deng Ming Dao.
