If you are a poet,
you will see clearly that there is a cloud
floating
in this sheet of paper.
Without a cloud there will be no rain;
Without rain the trees cannot grow;
And without trees, we cannot make paper.
So the cloud is in here.
Paper and cloud are so close
The trees need sunshine to be a tree.
If we look into this sheet of paper more deeply,
We can see the sunshine in it.
And if you look more deeply
You see not only the cloud
And the sunshine in it,
But that everything is here;
The wheat that became the bread for the logger to eat,
The loggers father-
Everything is in this sheet of paper.
Thich Nhat Hanh
