Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 Dear Jan, Ran across this poem which so reminded me of your long ago "advice" to me and also seems to describe you so well. With love and gratitude always, Glo ________ As I understand you to be a man who has grown weary of the world, I only think of you as not at all longing for a temporary shelter. ~~~~Saigyo from "Sankasha" poems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grown weary of the world but with investigating mind Nowhere to go nor anywhere to hide Nothing to resist nor anything to fight Nothing to seek and nothing to find When nothing is found, Self becomes delight When Self becomes delight, Self becomes the sight Jan >> And Jan's Self can see with the delight The mirror of self reflected in all other light For No-thing is everywhere and nowhere to see And beauty radiantly beams from all asundry For Self is One and One is All and Endlessly refracted crystallized prisms of love shine seamlessly Love and Light, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
