"Sitting Alone"

With friends I open wide my eyes;

Friendless, I speak to falling flowers.

The slender grass in warm wind sighs;

On sparkling sand cool moonlight showers.

Life seems a dream in countries strange;

Companions make me forget home.

My lute and books I won’t arrange;

I sit to see evening cloud roam.

Li Zhi (1527-1602)

"Past and Future ...."

Past and Future are a duality of which Present is the reality. The now-moment alone is eternal and real.

Wei Wu Wei

It was there

And then it was gone, leaving the other behind

But a new life is just beginning for this one

"Death belongs to life ...."

Death belongs to life as birth does. The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down.

Rabindranath Tagore

Actively chase happiness

Actively chase happiness

"In order to rectify one has to overdo"

"Grow old with me ...."

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 'A whole I planned, youth shows but half; Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!

Robert Browning
