Ludovico Einaudi: Seven Days Walking (day 3)




The fish trap exists
because of the fish.
Once you've gotten
the fish
you can forget the trap.
The rabbit snare exists
because of the rabbit.
Once you've gotten
the rabbit,
you can forget the snare.
Words exist
because of meaning.
Once you've gotten
the meaning,
you can forget the words.
Where can I find a man
who has forgotten words
so I can talk with him?
--Chuang Tzu
