Here upon the riverside I watch the water flow
From atop the mountains high above into the sea below
And at each and every moment the water is the same
But at each and every moment the similitude is feigned

The river, as it makes its way along the rocky bed,
Is everywhere and nowhere from beginning to its end
Simultaneously infinite and the smallest drop of rain
The river never rests, and is perpetually sustained

I have never found a peace like I do upon the bank
Laying on the damp grass in a cool summer shade
Watching the water flow accross the smooth river rock
Connected to eternity like that one rain drop
