* Today's Quotation *

Leaves fall
where no green earth remains:
a person at his ease,
wears a plain, white robe.

With simplicity and plainness
his original nature still,
what need to practice
"calming of the heart."

Chia-Tao (779-843) "The Clouds Should Know Me By Now", 1998, p. 26 Translated by Mike O'Connor
