Mistakenly, I sought
to cut out outside sounds
for the mind to become still.
Only when the mind is still
do outside sounds speak
their message clearly.
Only when the mind is still
do I hear the stillness
behind the sounds.
When the mind is still
the revving of the motorbike is
the same as the hermit’s chant.
When the mind is still
all is sacred.
