blue mountains and green trees

'If the mind is not overlaid with wind and waves, you will always be living among blue mountains and green trees. If your true nature has the creative force of Nature itself, wherever you may go, you will see fishes leaping and geese flying.'

'Hung Tzu-ch'eng, from his Ts'ai-ken T'an, as quoted by Alan Watts in Tao, the Watercourse Way, 1975.
