mountains are mountains

An old master said, ‘Mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers.’
 The meaning of these words is not that mountains are mountains, but that mountains are mountains.

ryokan (1758-1831)

Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.

 Ryokan's hut

   My legacy -
         What will it be?
               Flowers in spring,
                        The cuckoo in summer,
                          And the crimson maples
     Of autumn ...

marley day

"Când crezi că ai găsit toate răspunsurile,
 vine viaţa şi schimbă toate întrebările."

path of the elephant

walking
on the path
of the elephant
involves
flying
with
the whales

omelette and flying elephants

starting
with
a tasty
omelette
with
onions

and
flying elephants

sitting quietly

Sitting quietly, 
doing nothing,
Spring comes, 
and the grass
 grows
 by itself.                      [zenrin kushu]

and another day

 goes by
