Zen: Nature's Cycle

Who isn't happy when it rains during drought?
Everyone washes off the dirt.

Every leaf of grass opens its eyes and dances,
Every flower drinks and is refreshed.
Farmers in raincoats are busy in the fields,
Herb-gatherers have no time to rest.
Watching this natural course of events,
I marvel at the innocence of the universe.

- Naong Haegun (1320-1376)
