what legacy shall I
leave behind?
flowers in spring
cuckoos in summer
maple leaves in autumn

- Ryokan, Soto Zen monk 1758 - 1831

The monkey is reaching
For the moon in the water.
Until death overtakes him 
He'll never give up.
If he'd let go the branch and
Disappear in the deep pool,
The whole world would shine
With dazzling pureness. 

- Hakuin
