The Rock, Tree, River, and Sun
The Rock
The rock sits. In perfect meditation. It is still and silent. It knows all because it does not speak. It only listens. Can you sit as silently and calmly as the rock?
The Tree
The tree stands stiff and straight and withstands against the weather and the seasons. Its roots go deep. It will not lose its balance. Could you stand so strong for such a length of time?
The River
The river flows on and on. It does not stop and look back. It continues. It willingly changes its direction over time. It is swift and powerful, yet it is life giving. Can you be like the river?
The Sun
The sun is warm and embracing. It is not prejudiced. It gives life to all.
