I came here in response to your comment on my nature post. You express nature in words so beautifully.

Lennon’s line doesn’t denounce planning outright.

I totally agree with this. Some people may feel challenged or confused when they hear the concept of Zen, thinking, “Then we can’t do anything!” But nature always follows the seasonal order, and there is a natural sense of rhythm. Animals and Indigenous people are always preparing for the next season. However, they don’t move in the same way the capitalist system does… They don’t waste time or materials like our modern society does.

My husband likes Alan Watts and Jack Kerouac. He also enjoys the Beat poet Gary Snyder. Here is the song with a Jack Kerouac poem, shared from my husband to you!
