Imagining we have free will is
exactly as if water spoke to itself:
I can make waves
(yes! in the sea during a storm),
I can rush downhill
(yes! in the river bed),
I can plunge down foaming and gushing
(yes! in the waterfall),
I can rise freely as a stream of water into the air
(yes! in the fountain),
I can, finally, boil away and disappear
(yes! at a certain temperature);
but I am doing none of these things now,
and am of my own accord remaining quiet
and clear water in the reflecting pond
