Rain and Shine May Day

This affair is like the bright sun in the blue sky, shining clearly,changeless and motionless, without diminishing or increasing.It shines everywhere in the daily activities of everyone,appearing in everything.Though you try to grasp it, you cannot get it; though you try to abandon it, it always remains. It is vast and unobstructed, utterly empty...- Letter to Hsu Tun-chi from Zen Master Ta Hui

Funny how an idea can lay there for so long
like frying bacon
Turning and turning
Then all of a sudden it’s ready.
My "Red Book Rubaiyat" is beginning to brown.
