Each mind is like the surface of a vast lake.
It is calm, collected, smooth and unruffled.
Until anxious thoughts appear and agitate the surface.
Drain the lake.
Empty your mind.
Where there is no water.
There can be no surface.
Where there is no stress.
There can be no anxiety.
With a clear mind.
Only clarity stands alone.
A beautiful, calming and poetically original presentation of the mind, in different moments. Relax, empty your mind. Reaching clarity is not that hard. I find this to be a delightful well presented resume of how the mind reacts to different situations and a very well formulated poem to such ends.
