Francesco Zerillo, Palermo 1832 |
Oh, cold water is less cold now.
It used to be ice-cold.
Spring is coming!
Little round trees
with yellow colour lightly, lightly sprinkled.
A stone wall with new brownish green buds.
Dust coming from China around this time of year
has already disappeared and,
high and wide blue sky
radiantly emerging.
radiantly emerging.
Silvery street lamps glinting in the sunlight.
Calm and deep
softness.
It is constant and unchanging.
Neither rejects nor possesses.
Neither spits out nor swallows.
Just be.
Just be still.
In silence.
Pain,
suffering,
fear,
anxiety all
disappear.
By themselves.
