Fire and water

All the fish needs is to get lost in water. All man needs is to get lost in Tao.

Rivers as Rivers

Canoe with a View - paddlers bliss!

At first, I saw mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers.
Then, I saw mountains were not mountains and rivers were not rivers.
Finally, I see mountains again as mountains, and rivers again as rivers.

Heavens, Nature and God

Mattawa Canoe - Canada

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature.” – Anne Frank

If you don’t understand,
Things are just as they are.
