Bison have moved south
across the snow to accept
farmers' delivered hay;
no geese fly, no starlings chat
The
hut’s large windows permit close observation of the life cycles of
one’s plant and animal neighbors. One comes to realize there is no
separation.
If we think, “I am here and the mountain is over there,” that is a dualistic way of observing things.
--Shunryu Suzuki, Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness 28.
