Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn
by Wu Men (Hui-k'ai)English version by Stephen Mitchell
Original Language Chinese
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

The flowers say it, the moon, the breeze, the snow. Each time we pause to notice the living world around us it blesses us and says--- May your mind be unclouded, and may every season be the best season of your life!
