I know this is in jest, but I'll just take the opportunity to respond by posting my favorite poem. The relationship between it and your question -- well, that's for you to decide.
The birds have vanished down the sky.
Now the last cloud drains away.
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.
-- Zazen on Ching-t’ing Mountain
- xelxebar 2y agoBeautiful. I wasn't aware of Li Bai (李白). Took a bit of searching, but the original looks to be called 独坐敬亭山: 獨坐敬亭山 衆鳥高飛盡 孤雲獨去閒 相看兩不厭 只有敬亭山 This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
- rosmax_1337 2y agoThe question was sincere yet playful. I appreciate your answer. Here's a poem I like. O'er all the hilltops Is quiet now, In all the treetops Hearest thou Hardly a breath; The birds are asleep in the trees: Wait, soon like these Thou too shalt rest. -- Wanderer's Nightsong II, Goethe
