Hello,

the following was inspired by all the wonderful comments dealing with a Book of Equanimity koan. May it in turn inspire clarity:


The grass is always greener on the other side they say,
and they are right.
Drop body and mind,
stop and open.
Deeply entering into this you will see that there is no fence at all,
and that the green is truly the same.
Catch that thief again and again,
who steals green and erects fences.
You.


Gassho,

Hans Chudo Mongen
