Evolution

Born in garden sunlight In harmony with Spring Living off the landscape Like every living thing

Rivers smooth the mountains Animals trim the trees People help each other In the evening breeze

Lessons passed through generations Sharing information slow Communication speeds up Ending status quo

Stories group the people Ideas swarm like bees People fight each other For imaginary needs

There is no way to stop it The Word exacts its price Defining Us distinct from Them was our only vice


From Zen and the Art of [nothing] by John Zdanowski & Jeff Abrams, Chapter 8.
