Pond Summer Notes

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

― Lao Tsu

I just love the pond. My window looks out upon the pond. A glance at the pond tells you many things about the world outside. It is a live, continuous, read-out of light and wind, rain and sky. Because everything is connected.

Just now, Pearly and Gray, the pond pearls, rush across the surface of the water, pushed by a sudden urgent wind. They do not leave a wake when they do this. The wind and water and their exquisite spherical forms all move as one in these transits.

Yet when Pearly and Gray bump against the rocks and bounce back toward the center of the pond, a series of circles emanate from the site of the collision.

I wonder if I can learn to move without a wake, in perfect harmony with the everything I am connected with.
