Inspired by Faith by Giovanni Domenico (1757)

I seek sagehood, 
but there is much I still don’t understand. 
Being and non-being, 
action and inaction, what is the difference? 
Does it even matter?
Searching to know everything is exhausting. 

Maybe, sagehood will always elude me. 
Maybe, I should concede, 
and quit any desire to know. 
Maybe, I should empty my mind, 
and forget what I’ve learned. 
Maybe, I should stop searching, 
and become still and inactive. 
Maybe, I should just sleep. 
Maybe, when I wake, sagehood will find me.
