Like wringing water from a rock
Searching for permanence leaves little to be found
Like flowing freely from the source
Searching for impermanence is the path and the ground
As boundless change is the manner of all things
Take refuge in the spacious, infinite nature of mind

The west is waiting worried
Fortifying their shelters with comforts for the living
The east is waiting willing
Fortifying their spirits with comforts for the dying
As time marches forward without hitch or hesitation
Take refuge in the spacious, infinite nature of mind

Fearing the inevitable is like buying white sneakers
The incompatibility of wanting and living is the nature of suffering
Befriending emptiness is like drifting off to sleep
Release the universe of your mind from self-deception
As the taste of eternal truth satisfies carnal desires
Take refuge in the spacious, infinite nature of mind
