ABODE OF THE UNPLANNED EFFECT
The grass-covered path
is secluded and still;
a closed door faces
the Chung-nan Mountains.
In the evening, the air’s chilly,
but the light rain stops;
at dawn, far off,
a few cicada start.
Leaves fall
where no green earth remains;
a person at his ease
wears a common white robe.
With simplicity and plainness
his original nature still,
what need to practice
calming of the heart?
