Melancholy Meditation (6)
Melancholy Meditation (6)
This body is a tree
The two arms are its branches
The trunk is the torso
The eyes and ears in it are the holes The fruit it bears is the head
The leaves are but the countless diseases
It is the nest for living organisms
Who claims that one's body is one's own?
It's futile to forge a sense of belongingness to the body
It is but a boat that carries us from birth to death.
