Be water
Empty your mind
Be formless
Be shapeless
Like water
When you put water into a cup
It becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle
It becomes the bottle
You put it in a teapot
It becomes the teapot
Water it can flow or it can crash
Be water
A Poem by Victor Hugo "I wish you"
First of all, I wish you love, and that by loving you may also be loved. But if it’s not like that, be brief in forgetting And after you’ve forgotten, don’t keep anything. I wish that wouldn’t happen, but if it does and you forget, you could be a person without desperation. I also wish you may have a lot of friends, And even if they are bad and inconsequent, They should be brave and true And, at least one of them, should be completely reliable. But because life is the way it is, I also wish you may have enemies. Not many or too little, just in the right number So that you will have to question your own certainties and truths as well. And may there be among them at least one who is just and fair, So that you can never feel too secure in your ideas. I wish you may be useful but not irreplaceable And in your bad moments, When you have nothing else, That sense of usefulness will keep you on your feet. So equally, I wish you to be tolerant, Not with those that make little mistakes,
