O how boundless is the state of serenity! How transparent is the moon's reflection Shot in the ripples of the water wisdom! At such an instant, what else need we get? Since the truth infinitely discovers itself As a solid clod of mud on the dusty roadside, Neither evaporated nor liquefied, It makes the core of our Dharma's body!

Nice ink, much truth within these eight lines . . . My favorite . . . "Neither evaporated nor liquefied," Truth, solid truth cannot fade, it is there rock solid.

While sitting by placid water observing the reflection of the full moon seems to be the epitome of serenity. Somehow, I thought of someone in a windowless jail cell, not knowing whether it is night or day, or the length of stay, somehow finding serenity, just to survive the unknown inevitability.

Perhaps your description of the truth of life wrapped up in a clod of mud is an analogy for that kind of serenity.

I do think that truth has a way, Alex, more likely multiple ones, for rediscovering itself. Too bad we expend our resources not only in studying those ways but also in impeding their process.

I love your line "the truth infinitely discovers itself", as we infinitely discover the truth through Truth. Beautiful poem. John
