The mountain stands against the sky.
If the sky vanishes, so does the mountain.
The boat is just there in the silent lake.
If the lake goes, so does the boat.
The scene is determined by the eye
as the perspective is decided by
the perception of the 'eye-mind'.
An eagle can spot a fish far down
from way up above the sky
for that is what she wants to see.
Seeing is believed to be real
as the unseen is yet to be seen.
The unfelt is considered unreal,
and the unheard is not there for sure.
The unknown is a source of fear
as long as the known is secure enough.
If the confinement is comfortable
why bother flying into an open sky?
The presence of invisible is felt at times
when we realize our sense perception alone
can not substantiate the absence of it.
The sound of a falling tree in an un-maned forest
is echoed by the sound of one hand clapping.
Both may be heard clearer or felt nearer
by an ancient tree or an old monk, the rock.
Or are they totally unaware of it?
Then again,
is the forest itself just a thought?
