First the fish needs to say:
Something just ain’t right about this camel ride.
And I’m feeling so damn thirsty.

That’s a poem by Hafiz–a medieval Sufi poet.

What the heck does it mean?  Well, taking it apart loses it’s eternal charm to stop the brain and touch the heart.  Koans do that too–they don’t get processed through the brain.  In fact, koans have a purpose to STOP the brain, just like this poem.

We are all fish in the water of the Divine insisting that we are thirsty.  We feel like fish out of water in this human body and keep complaining.  If we can be aware that we are humans, that we are simultaneously at one with the Divine, then it becomes nothing more (or less) than a fabulous camel ride through an oasis and a desert of our own making.

This fish needs to see:
What a view from this elephant!
And the bath of Her womb is sublime.
