Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing that makes water,
and nobody knows what that is.

questions

  





.


 

I have been thinking of the difference between water 
and the waves on it. 

Rising, 
water's still water, falling back,
it is water, will you give me a hint 
how to tell them apart? 

Because someone has made up the word 
"wave," do I have to distinguish it from water? 

There is a Secret One inside us; 
the planets in all the galaxies 
pass through his hands like beads.

That is a string of beads one should look at 
with luminous eyes. 


—Kabir
