The sound of one hand clapping
I took a stroll over to the NOMA to see the Zen Monk Haikun exhibit and was welcomed by the Japanese drummers outside. Today was lovely, a golden light from the sun, redbuds in bloom, and a laziness that almost felt like Sunday accompanied me. The exhibit repeated often that Haikun is the master of the last 500 years.
What is the use
Of cherishing life in spring?
Its flowers
only shackle us
to this world.
