    We're All In This Together (5) - You are a Mountain

    There are reasons that Zen folks love the mountains and build their temples close by: They teach strength, beauty and wisdom.

    Master Dogen left us this poem ...

    Sitting Zazen as night gets late, still not sleepy;
    I realize more and more that practicing the Way is best
    done in mountain forests.
    The sound of valley streams enters my ears; the
    moonlight comes into my eyes.
    Other than this, what other cares should I have?

        Beautiful!


        The birds have vanished down the sky.
        Now the last cloud drains away.

        We sit together, the mountain and me,
        until only the mountain remains.

        -- Li Po

              Soothing view and words. The bird songs always welcome.
