1. Searching for the Ox
Nothing has been lost in the first place,
So what is the use of searching?
By refusing to come to one’s senses,
One becomes separated from
And eventually loses sight of what one seeks.
Home grows more and more distant,
And one comes to many crossroads.
Thoughts of gain and loss burn like fire,
And ideas of right and wrong
Rise up like the blade of a sword.
