The Moon Waxes and Wanes
The moon waxes and wanes Tides ebb and flow. Emotion moves up and down. Only achieved ones enjoy The smooth flow of nature. Reference: Moonlight in the Dark Night by Hua-Ching Ni ISBN 0937064440

Der blinde Knabe
An allen Türen blieb der blinde Knabe, auf den der Mutter bleiche Schönheit schien, und sang das Lied, das ihm sein Leid verliehn: “Oh hab mich lieb, weil ich den Himmel habe.” Und alle weinten über ihn. An allen Türen blieb der blinde Knabe. Die Mutter aber zog ihn leise mit; weil sie die andern [...]

The Master of Demon Valley
The world has no constant values, events has no constant guide. When others act, I am still; When others talk I listen. If you know your nature, you’ll have few troubles; if you know your destiny, you won’t worry.

The Road Not Taken

When I see a butterfly I smile
When I see a butterfly, I smile. With my eyes I chase the butterfly, my body following. The butterfly flutters, aimless here and there. I think, am I not like the butterfly? I smile.
Commandment of my Spirit
In the search for meaning in my life I reached the barrier of reason. I felt the urge to go beyond the doors of the comprehensible. Looking for God. I walk on the path of enlightenment in search of the ultimate truth. Transcending all. Returning to the void.
