DON´T LOOK FOR THE NORTH ABOVE NOR THE SOUTH BELOW
Don´t look for the north above nor the south below,
don´t look for time in the sand nor stillness in stone,
don´t look for heaven in the highest nor hell in the deepest,
don´t look for the cause in water nor the absurd in the stars,
don´t look for here nor there, near or far, don´t look for;
because you are the north and the south and the year and the moment,
and you are heaven and hell, the beginning and the end,
and you are time and stillness, the absurd and the meaning,
and you are the sun and the world and you are the earth and the valley.
from
The Ballad of Green Valley
