In nature, everything lives where it belongs.
Mountain birds stay in the mountains, river birds along the streams, and sea birds by the ocean.
Master Woo Myung reminds us that each form carries its own mind and way of life.
To live in tune with nature is to recognize that all things are already in their rightful place.

Read the full passage below and reflect on how shape and place give rise to mind and meaning.

📝 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung

Nature

Mountain birds live in the mountains;
river birds live near the river;
and seabirds live by the ocean.
All things live where they should;
everything is in its rightful place.
People live among people
and the shapes of all things are the shapes of life.
The minds of all things are different
because of their shapes and forms.
A bird flies through the air,
and a mountain creature cries in the hills.
