I Pursue No Success


Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong)


I do what I like to do

I follow my inner voice

Let my nature burst like a fully blossomed flower

******

If god wants me to be a big tree

I will try to extend my hands to the blue sky

If becoming a wildflower is my destiny

I will do my utmost to show my beauty

******

I’m a stream, why bother compare with rivers

I’m a little grass, why compete with a peony for beauty

Everything is part of god’s blueprint

No one is noble or humble

******

Life is just a journey

The sceneries are my guardian angels

Why should I copy others and ignore my nature

Chasing after success is twisting my nature

******

I don’t want to be great

nor do I care success

Every day, I just want to show my true self

No matter what I achieve in the end

I only want a beautiful journey

******

I’m not a warrior of life

Nor a guard of some doctrine

I have no interest in competing with masters

They have their talents

I have my own fun

******

I just want to be a little bee

Flying through the mountains and plains

It feels so good to be ordinary

No longer lift my neck to pretend I’m tall

******

Tiny bridge, flowing brook, and cottages
worn road, west wind and lean horse

Even living in the remotest corner

I will find myself happiness

******

Let me just live in the quiet small village

Having joy with crickets and sparrows

Winter goes, spring comes,

Feeling the coolness

and softness of breeze

******

Please go after success and greatness

Let me stay in New Oasis for Life

Take care of each other
