Hi all! Would greatly appreciate help with translating my Zenga calligraphy scroll. Thank you for your help!

 
The main writing says
水落石出
When the water recedes, the rocks will be revealed. Meaning: when you free your mind of the surrounding noise, the truth will be revealed.
I can't read the written bits to the right and left. Usually the right side is a date, and this one could be 壬戌年 (Year of the dog, one of the years in the 60-year Chinese zodiac calendar - corresponds with 1740, 1802, 1862, 1922, 1982, etc.). I can't get the bits after that.
The left side usually is the writer's name, which in this case I think is 栗山 (Kuriyama - something), which is repeated on the read seal 栗山堂?)
 
Thanks once again, Majestic--such a beautiful & meaningful statement & interpretation. Your translations are exceptional.
