【Main Meaning】
A passage from a poem by Wang Wei. I floundered along the edge of the mountain, and before I knew it, I arrived at the end of the river. I sit down and mindlessly watch the clouds rise. This is a poem about the state of being at one with nature in a relaxed state of mindlessness. It matches the feeling of being in deep Zen meditation.
