The Unknown Wanderer
abides in Equanimity
Unmoved
by the winds of joy
or sorrow, the Sage
silently follows
the Way in
the calmness
of tranquility
fixing his mind steadfast,
becoming one with change,
he drops ‘self’ for “Self”
The Sage observes seasons
come and go and while others
adjust to the different times,
it’s all the same to the Sage,
who abides as Change Itself
The sutras say,
“To seek is to suffer.
To seek nothing is bliss."
When you seek nothing,
you're on the Path
The Unknown Wanderer
is like Dōgen, who stated,
“Do not ask me
where I am going,
As I travel in
this limitless world,
Where every step
I take is my home.”
Thus every step
is the Path for him,
as he wanders and
exists, to simply roam
Nonetheless,
wherever you choose
to abide and dwell,
will always
and forever be,
considered,
my one true home
