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.
To see things as they are,
to see the changing nature,
to see the impermanence,
to see that constant flow of
pleasant and painful events
outside our control—
that is freedom.
~ Wu Men Hui-k'ai
