Awakening*
Every river aims at the ocean;
It is the final step of its way.
Waves are at ease reaching the shore,
Dancing and joyously hugging the earth.
The bee is most gentle touching the flower
Carrying a miracle:
Life in a seed.
All in nature has a deep meaning
Linking birth’s mystery
To its mate, death.

* from his Dharma Reflections book
