Within light there is darkness,
But do not try to understand that darkness.
Within darkness there is light,
But do not look for that light.
Light and darkness are a pair,
Like the foot before and the foot behind in walking.
–Shih’tuo, a verse from the Sandokai

1The Moment
Oh, the coming-out-of-nowhere moment
when, nothing
happens
no what-have-I-to-do-today-list
maybe half a moment
the rush of traffic stops.
The whir of I should be, I should be, I should be
slows to silence,
the white cotton curtains hanging still.
- Marie Howe

You shall love whether you like it or not. Emotions, they come and go like clouds. Love is not only a feeling, you show love… To love is run the risk of failure, the risk of betrayal. You fear your love has died; perhaps it is waiting to be transformed into something higher… Awaken the divine presence which sleeps in each man, each woman. Know each other in that love that never changes.
