Weekend Zen, October 30-31

Make the universe your companion,

always bearing in mind the true nature 

of all creation –– mountains and rivers, 

trees and grasses, and humanity –– and enjoy

the falling blossoms and scattering leaves.

~ Bashö

Daily Zen - Thursday, June 1

Clouds come from time to time — and bring

 a chance to rest from looking at the moon.
