No climbing needed to reach the top
of the morning -- just sit quietly and observe
how the light filters through the forest, awakening
a slumbering world with its soft and luminous caress.
If you want to enjoy the thought-free state,
this is a good way to gain entrance: no fees
for the view, nothing you need to work yourself
up to -- no incantations, no years of genuflections,
no special texts or tedious practices are required.
Be flooded by light and then come out alive --
what could be easier, what could be more sublime?
