The Zen of Nature,
The nature of Zen.
It is not all about beauty,
It is not all about lovely rainbows,
As Puffy clouds sail across the sky.
It is also about the wildness of nature,
The hunt and the kill,
The story of the predator,
The fear of the prey.
The hunter today,
Can be the prey tomorrow.
With all the happiness,
We all feel the pain and the sorrow.
With all the joy of success,
We must first feel the pain of failure.
Our lives are kept in a balance,
That balance that differs from one,
To the other, from sister to brother.
Nature keeps its balance in the world,
Casting its net of wisdom to us like pearls.
We need to mimic nature and to seek,
That special balance to the wisdom peak.
This occurs in meditation and only then,
We learn to love and understand nature Zen.
