ten thousand flowers

 






Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

Forgetting has many different layers
and so has remembering.
Suddenly, a burst of gratefulness cuts through.
You stumble and fall among the tulips.

Thank you.
