Traveling in a foreigners’ land
Not knowing the languageThe road is long and hazards many
Take ease for a day, a night, a time
Relax your stringent diet, the body needs strength
Ease your watchfulness, body & mind need sleep
Take pleasure in things, it feeds the soul
Rest your eyes, the news will still be there
Let go of your concerns, it is alright
The soulsick also need care, rest
Idyll in a garden in Summer, Winter a museum
Watch your breath go in and out, let the mind settleDeep internal change can be, you know
It is not only a lie in a horoscope
You are perhaps pulled to other roads, other towns
Perhaps you are just weary of this journey
Study the Dao of the grass beneath your feet
Going against the grain brings only hardship
Take rest weary traveler, find a soft place, welcoming hands
Entrust your aches to Morpheus, he will salve them
Dream a new day when you see joyful, friendly eyesWander, walk, but the body accepts no insults
Ease your watchfulness
In peace, your answers find you
