It seems so easy here as the sun warms my feet and my eyes trace the ocean of waves of sand, of the flow of life To see that is is all in the perspective: That from one place, the lines emerge and flow to sway in a measured dance of here and now to there And from another, all is lost in sharp angles and dead ends It seems so easy hhere, and it is The hard part is learning, to remember to find that perspective As I leave the here and now and emerge into Monday (From Daikokuji Garden, perhaps the most famous Zen garden in Japan. If you sit about 2/3 of the way down the length, all the lines just seem to flow.) |
