A person of the Way fundamentally does not dwell anywhere. The white clouds are fascinated with the green mountain's foundation. The bright moon cherishes being carried along with the flowing water. The clouds part and the mountain appears, The moon sets and the water is cool. Each bit of autumn contains vast interpenetration without bounds.
