the amulet
I send with my child
is my heart and only that
let it pass
through all your barriers

because of being alone
the moon is a friend

separates my hermitage
the pile of
fallen leaves
separates my hermitage
further and further
from the world of woe.

chatting as they go?
when the wind blows
the under leaves of the oak
make whispering sounds
and where are they off to,
chatting as they go?

it falls without wind–

which of you…the first to fall?
oh leaves, ask the wind which of you
will be the first to fall.

“true” nature
Someone asked, “what is my true nature?”
If you search for your “true’ nature, you grant the existence of a “false” one.
If you make no attempt to define your nature, you will find nothing in it that is not true.*
