in the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

According to Buddha
You may control a mad elephant;
You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger;
Ride the lion and play with the cobra;
By alchemy you may learn your livelihood;
You may wander through the universe incognito;
Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;
You may walk in water and live in fire;
But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

i know we’ve come a long way,
we’re changing day to day,
but tell me, where do the children play?
according to Buddha
There are having flowers in Spring, breezes in Summer, moon in Autumn, snows in Winter. If there is nothing worrying over you, it will be the best seasons at all times.
singin’
joy to the world
all the boys and girls, now
joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
joy to you and me
