Must I survive, must I go on?
Getting stronger wherever I’m weak,
For sitting under the blue sky I ask,
Who is the “I” that does speak?
Q is for Questioning (Is it serious?)

Imagine no heaven or hell for a moment,
No merit to lose or to win,
Free to apply our own meaning,
Would we put it without or within?
I is for In. Or is it out?

Is it in or is it out, or somewhere in-between?
Cos when you stand inside it’s out and all looks oh so clean,
But switch it round and then we see the inside looks quite in,
And so we must conclude that it depends where we begin.

What if you’re playing this game with yourself?
Both hider and seeker you’d be,
It’s great fun to hide, but better still,
Is the moment you’re found, you see.

The seed of a dandelion doesn’t have any beliefs,
So when the wind starts to blow,
It doesn’t cling to its ideas and assumptions,
All it does is simply let go.
Sitting Quietly, Doing Nothing…

“Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes,
and the grass grows, by itself.”
~Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)
Commentary:
What else would grow by us sitting quietly, doing nothing?
Would this bring us “success?”
What would we lose?
