I prefer winter and fall, when you feel
 the bone structure of the landscape - 
the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. 
Something waits beneath it, the whole story 
doesn't show.  - Andrew Wyeth

Why are You Unhappy?

Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, 
and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn’t one. 

- Wei Wu Wei 

(Terence James Stannus Gray, 
better known by the pen name 
Wei Wu Wei, was a 20th-century Taoist 
philosopher and writer.)

Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going — 
Two simple happenings
That got entangled. 

- Zen Master Kozan Ichikyo
