Dressage in the Fourth Dimension: The Book

The Fourth Dimension

No one knows this mountain I inhabit:
Deep in white clouds, forever empty, silent.

-Han Shan (7th-9th cent)

You ask why I live in the mountain forest,
I smile, and am silent,
and even deep within remain quiet:
the peach trees blossom,
the water flows.

- Li T’ai-po (701-?)

When I find you again,
It will be in mountains;
This morning I lose you
Once more to farewell.
Free of attachment
In heart and mind
Is that why you can go
Ten thousand miles alone?
Traveling without disciples,
You have only
A white horse
For company.
