And above all,

watch with glittering eyes

the whole world around you

because the greatest secrets

are always hidden

in the most unlikely places.

Those who don't believe in magic

will never find it.

The blossom that opens in the morning

is scattered by the evening breeze,

and the dew, condensed in hours of darkness

before dawn, is dispelled by the rays of the morning sun.

Heedless or willfully ignorant of this

procession of changes, we dream of prosperity

all through life and, without understanding

the nature of transcience, hope for longevity.

All the while, across the face of the earth

moves the restless wind of impermanence,

dissolving all that it touches.
