Good morning everyone.

"Loud are the thunder drums in the tents of the mountains.
Oh, long, long Have we eaten chia seeds and dried deer's flesh of the summer killing.
We are tired of our huts and the smoky smell of our clothing.

We are sick with the desire for the sun And the grass on the mountain."

- Paiute Late Winter Song

I like this poem, it has the element of real life in it, a longing for the end of winter.

CALM

If you know the point of balance,
You can settle the details.
If you can settle the details,
You can stop running around.
Your mind will become calm.
If your mind becomes calm,
You can think in front of a tiger.
If you can think in front of a tiger,
You will surely succeed.

     - Mencius
