there's no
figuring out how
to live life
there is only
the living of life
those who
figure out how
end up learning
to forget all hows
in order to live again
.
~ Benjamin Dean
from Short Zen Poems, Koans
The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.
~ Omar Khayyam
.
Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us -
Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
