I Have a Finger

To be safe and sound, I envy those who live forever;

Still, though all goes as I wish, a hundred worries remain.

With a devoted heart, I admire the immortals and look on gladly;

I’ll sever every worldly tie and return to the boundless.

The Dao gives rise to three thousand paths, all devoid of feeling;

But with a single finger, I can slay immortals, destroy the Dao, and execute the heavens.
