Look at the animals!
They are naked in the world
Resolutely themselves
They take no more than is given
And are proud to be of the earth
And for the earth
They are rich with strength
And delight in sheer being
They do not complain
Or strive for nirvana
They do not feel sorry for themselves
Or anything
Look at the animals!
As they go naked through the world
And learn

Inever saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
