Little bits of inspiration to help keep things in perspective…

Muddled by folly and craving, fanned by misleading circumstances, it surges and billows, never stopping for a moment. Looking at it this way, where can you go and not be mistaken! It’s like trying to look into a flowing spring to see your own appearance – it never forms.
Seng-Chao
