'What happens when the sky and the earth meet?'

When the sky and the earth were created,

The sky does not know the depth of the water within, and
The earth does not know the uncontrollable fire within.

In the Beginning,
When the water meets such a fire,
It is burnt by the fire's burning passion, and
When the fire meets such a water,
It is bewildered by its calm stillness and the vast height of the sky.

But with the faithful care of the rain and the wind from the sky,
The small sparks of the fire will transform into the constant flame
That warms the things of the earth and the sky.

Behold!
In their harmony and contrast,
The beauty of life is revealed, and
The world is made wholesome and complete.
