Towards Stillness
Be still as a lake without ripplesglowing in the moonlight
Still as the creatures of the forest
sleeping in the depths of night.
Hey there!
Wait a moment!
What's thizzz?
"Sh-h-h"
a temple priest
whispers –
"Calm your mind.
Still your breath.
Then notice
each object –
In order to see
cease noisiness."
| An-Yi: | So do you actually believe there is some kind of transcendental stillness beyond the noise of this world? |
| Chariya: | My personal belief is irrelevant. If such a sacred stillness does exist, it does not need my confirmation. |
| Daiki: | (looking straight at An-Yi) The only stillness is death. Everything else is an illusion. |
| Bhäraté: | Well, if you've already made up your mind about this, what is there to say? |
