Life so far doesn’t have any other name
but breath and light, wind and rain.
but breath and light, wind and rain.
If there’s a temple, I haven’t found it yet.
I simply go on drifting, in the heaven of the grass
and the weeds.
I simply go on drifting, in the heaven of the grass
and the weeds.

When I was a child, I felt that it was heavenly to go wandering around in the grass and weeds too. Haven’t done enough of it as an adult!
