Action is called karma. and that's your continuation. when this body disintegrates, you continue on with your actions. it's like the cloud in the sky. when the cloud is no longer in the sky, it hasn't died. the cloud is continued in other forms like rain or snow or ice.

More From Nhat Hanh

And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?

What brings the karmic result from the patterns of our actions is not our action alone. as we intend and then act, we create [our] karma: so another key to understanding the creation of karma is becoming aware of intention. the heart is our garden, and along with each action there is an intention that is planted like a seed. the result of the patterns of our karma is the fruit of these seeds.

Let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby. the rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. the rain makes running pools in the gutter. the rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- and i love the rain.

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

Were we to still be circumcising the hood of the female clitoris, we would not have difficulty considering this a continuation of our tradition to keep girls sexually repressed. america's reflexive continuation of [male] circumcision-without-research reflects the continuation of our tradition to desensitize boys to feelings of pain, to prepare them to question the disposability of their bodies no more than they would question the disposability of their foreskins.
