Hear the Bird Sing

God is the dancer,

creating the dance.

Be silent and contemplate the dance.

Just look ....

a star, a flower, a leaf, a bird, a stone.

Look, listen, touch, taste, smell ....

it won't be long before you meet

the dancer in the dance.

Reflection:

The disciple was always complaining to his Master,

"You are hiding the final secret of Zen from me."    

And he would not accept the Master's denials.

One day they were walking in the hills

when they heard a bird sing.

'Did you hear that bird sing?'

said the Master.

'Yes,' said the disciple.

'Well, now you know that I have hidden nothing from you.'

'Yes.'
