Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters.
When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters.
But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it’s just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters.

I don’t know what I want anymore. I know I want both but I cant have that. Is it just nerves or fear? Im this close to settling my mind down
