No Place for Using Effort

There's no place in Buddhism for using effort.
Just be ordinary and nothing special.
Relieve your bowels, pass water,
put on your clothes, and eat your food.
When you're tired, go and lie down.
Ignorant people may laugh at me,
but the wise will understand.
As you go from place to place,
if you regard each one as your home,
they will all be genuine, for when
circumstances come you must not
try to change them.

Alan Watts
