  Being born amounts to peering out from a cliff
  Over the sea. The great jellyfish who spread their arms
  Out on the sea tell us how deep our ignorance is.

  How many nights must it take
  one such as me to learn
  that we aren’t, after all, made
  from that bird that flies out of its ashes,
  that for us
  as we go up in flames, our one work
  is
  to open ourselves, to be
  the flames?

  Catch the Wind

  After quoting Alan Watts re: trying to catch the wind, a song by Donovan came on my iTunes shuffle. It was the song “There Is a Mountain,” which I’ve always liked but never listened much to the lyrics. This time I felt like I really understood what he was singing: “First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.”
