The River Talks

"Is this what you mean? That river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere, and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past, nor the shadow of the future?"
~from "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse

This is one of my favorite passages from Siddhartha. How amazing that the ancient wisdom in the book points to the illusion of time and space, something supported by quantum physics. And how amazing, that the fisherman says that the best way to gain wisdom is by listening to the river. Yes, Nature contains all the answers to our hearts' quests. All we need to do is to listen.
