Stop thinking, and stop trying
not to
think.
To stop
thinking
and stop trying not to think
are exactly the same practice.
This is the valley of
Wu Wei.
It is green and beautiful.
Just watch.
Silt settles, problems vanish.
No need to touch
the surface or the depth.
The pond
clears all
by itself.
This we call, "Stop thinking."
Resting on
the bank,
listening to the music of your mind
like a mountain stream,
this we call, "Stop trying
not to think."
Just watch
the white
waters of silence
go over 10,000 stones,
singing and beautiful.
