Zen (I hope I don't dance)



Too lazy to be ambitious,

I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

-- Ryokan (Zen master)

Right now...is the only moment we have. Cherish it.

sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes it is a feeling far incomprehensible by any number of words.....
