On one of my runs, I stopped to hear the soothing sounds of the little stream that crosses a bridge. Often in my dreams I hear this sound, it is always healing. As I stood there, it reminded me of this verse, we often chant it at the Zendo.
The Diamond That Cuts Through Illusion (Last Verse)
So you should view this fleeting world
a star at dawn
a bubble in a stream
a flash of lightning in a summer cloud
a flickering lamp
a phantom
and a dream.
