The Rustling Leaves And The Shining Sun

O Mind,

The rustling leaves

of the tree -

the tree

which is swaying in the wind,

the wind

which is free flowing like water,

the water

which tree drinks from the earth,

the earth

which provides nourishment to the rustling leaves -

are asking you to rustle with them

not because they need company

but because you need Life.

O Mind,

The Sun of the sky -

the sky

which is open and empty,

the openness and emptiness

which makes it possible

for the creation to appear,

the creation

which won't exist without the loving warmth of the Sun -

is asking you

to shine bright with it

not because it needs company

but because you need the Light.

O Mind,

give yourself the liquor of Love

and you will rustle with the leaves.

O Mind,

give yourself the fire of Faith

and you will shine with the Sun.
