“When composing a verse let there not be a hair’s breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.”

No one can drink the water of a mirage

~Zen Master Han Shan

מילים כמו חול ואין מה לאכול


~~AND SO?

What crosses the horizon,

Looking like pure emptiness?

This bright and shimmering world

Differs not from brilliant jade.

Look upon the ruins,
Of the castle of Delusion,
Haunted now only by the spirits of those who perished,
A scene of carnage,
Born of consuming desire,
Never changing,
Now and throughout Eternity…
