Summer Shadows
“There is an aesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence”.
Lunch Break
“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less”.
Walk of Life
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path”.
Into the Forest
“The career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest”.
Rocky Coast
“You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters”.
Snowy Tree
“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life”.
