Coming out from my day’s abiding on Vulture Peak Mountain,
I saw on the bank of a river an elephant emerged from its plunge.
A man holding a hook requested: “Give me your foot.”
The elephant extended its foot. The man got up on the elephant.
Seeing what was untrained now tamed brought under human control, with that I centered my mind — why I’d gone to the woods in the first place.
