Immersing

Yutang Lin

Soaking and immersing inside one gradually comprehends.
Sinking and submerging for years capacity and skill grown.
Severe winter under heavy snow left only silent loneliness.
Then green shoots atop trees welcome spring back to earth.

Comment:

After deep immersing the way of things gradually becomes understood. Where is not the way? Growth and cultivation takes months and years. Through continuous efforts and studies capacity and skills naturally grow. After the pulling and binding of basically irrelevant superficial attachments faded away, clarity and awareness naturally pour and pervade, alive and hindrance free.
