Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 The Perfect Way knows no difficulties Except that it refuses to make preferences; Only when freed from hate and love, It reveals itself fully and without disguise; A tenth of an inch's difference, And heaven and earth are set apart; If you wish to see it before your own eyes, Have no fixed thoughts either for or against it. -- Sosan Ganchi Zenji (d. 606 C.E.) Lovely..... "Without words, we understand no-mind; without shape, we understand true nature. With relaxed mind, we grasp the meaning of Tao; with boundless Way, we understand truth. Without desire, without distress we keep to our empty heart. The beauty of the Way is that there is no "way". No self No this, no that Everything, everything is simply emptiness." -Book of the Heart (Loy Ching-Yuen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can't believe impossible things," said Alice."I dare say you haven't had much practice," replied the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."-- Lewis Carroll, Through The Looking Glass"What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible."-- Theodore Roethke, poet[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 The river is famous to the fish.The loud voice is famous to the silence,which knew it would inherit the earthbefore anybody said so.The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birdswatching him from the birdhouse.The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek.The idea you carry close to your bosomis famous to your bosom.The boot is famous to the earth,more famous than the dress shoe,which is famous only to floors.The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries itand not at all famous to the one who is pictured.I want to be famous to shuffling menwho smile while crossing streets,sticky children in grocery lines,famous as the one who smiled back.(I am inquiring who is the author.

Perceptible only in the memory of an ancient sound, the wind announces itself. Listen carefully and you will hear your earliest name. And that name is Love.
