Stop chasing

Happiness is a butterfly

which, when pursued, is always beyond your grasp,

but which, if you sit down quietly,

may light upon you

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Undisturbed

I gaze on myself in the stream’s emerald flow,
Sit on a boulder by a cliff.

My mind, a lonely cloud,
Leans on nothing, needs nothing
From the world and its endless events.

HanShan, Chinese Buddhist and Taoist poet
