Tightly held by rocks
Through winter, the ice today
Begins to come undone:
A way-seeker also is the water,
Melting, murmuring from the moss.

Today's satori:
Such a change of mind would
Not exist without
My lifelong habit of having
My mind immersed in blossoms.

This world I'll have it til
My heart's content:
The bright moon that passed over
The horizon before I had my fill.

We are such spendthrifts with our lives, the trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.
