A Poem For Today - Every day, priests minutely examine the Law

[KEN DICKINSON]



Every day, priests minutely examine the Law

Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
Before doing that, though, they should learn
How to read the love letters sent by the wind
and rain, the snow and moon.

by Ikkyu (Ikkyu Sojun)

Do not imagine that you are alone in your village, in your city, or among the infinite worlds.

Do not imagine that you are enchained to this time and this space.

Do not imagine that upon your death, loneliness will become eternal.

- Silo's Message

[John Jai Conley]

Ah.

The way you look at things is the most powerful force in shaping your life.
