Daily Zen - Thursday, September 24

I don't know what's meant by Know Thyself, 

which seems to ask a window to look at a window.

I aspire to know when best to walk, or eat,

which music I need, and how to keep myself

sitting as I am now, stubbornly enraptured

with doing practically nothing.

The road reaches every place,

the short cut only one.

Of all the ways to avoid living,

perfect discipline is the most admired.
