Observe the world from keen insight across autumn skies,
winds and clouds rise and fall—within the palm they’re gathered.
With penetrating clarity, see the workings of the world and seize the first chance;
break through the maze, discern the muddy from the clear currents.
With a single sentence, end the rise and fall’s momentum—
with a few words, predict how waves will sink and surge.
In all the countless souls who drift through life’s ups and downs,
none compares to how decisively this noble mind perceives events.
