by thich naht hanh
this body is not me.
i am not caught in this body.
i am life without limit.
i have never been born and i never die.
look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from the wondrous true mind.
since beginningless time, i have always been free.
birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.
birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.
so laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye to meet again.
we meet today,
we will meet tomorrow,
we meet at the source in every moment,
we meet each other in all forms of life.
