Zen, Billy, zen.


Between "With Mind"
And "With-Out Mind,"
The pine tree breeze!
How do you want us
To listen to you in the garden?
- Mushin-za

People say
We are "Mindless,"
But we have ears alright,
So we listen to the breeze
In the pine tree in the garden.
- Muneyuki-kyo

The dragonflies,
And the color of the walls,-
my native place, how dear!
- Bunson

The brushwood,
Though cut for fuel,
Is beginning to bud.
- Boncho

Beside the plantain lily
The grasshopper
Sings his sutra.
- Kana-jo

Only after the peony
Had scattered and fallen
Did it stand there in it's glory.
