The knowing possess understanding
So deep they cannot be understood
Cautious as one crosses thin ice
Careful as when one is surrounded by danger
Modest as a humble guest
Unbounded as melted ice
Unprocessed as unshaped wood
Vast as a valley
Seamless as running water
Who stills the water so that mud may settle?
Who seeks to stop so that he may continue his travels?
Who desires less than what can be given,
Decays, but will not renew?
