The most beautiful truths ever spoken by the wise are these:
Drink from the waters where horses drink,
for a horse will never choose what is unclean.
Place your bed where the cat chooses to rest,
for it seeks calm, balance, and peace.
Eat the fruits that the worm has touched but not consumed,
for it always searches for what is ripe and true.
Plant your trees where the mole digs,
for the soil there is deep, rich, and fertile.
Build your home where the snake warms itself,
for such ground is steady and will not collapse.
Dig for water where birds shelter from the heat—
where they gather, life flows beneath the earth.
Sleep and rise with the birds,
for in harmony with nature lies the path to success.
Eat generously from the earth’s vegetables,
and your legs will grow strong, your heart resilient like that of wild creatures.
Swim whenever you can,
and you will feel as free on land as a fish in water.
Lift your eyes to the sky often,
and your thoughts will become clear, light, and expansive.
Remain calm. Embrace silence.
Tranquility will settle into your heart,
and your soul will discover lasting peace.
