The Secret of Everything and Nothing

The willows know
to take the stream to live inside them. 
And see how every part of them
responds to wind as well as to water

Shadows on the rock wall hold peace
that could save the world. 
Beauty born and dying each moment
with no need to hold.

Ripples on the water gather the colors
of all the world around
without ever losing their clarity.
Singing the secret of everything and nothing

If I could learn what stones have to teach
I would have no need of schooling
I would graduate unknown
and with honor

	- Garth Gilchrist
