A vibrant, colorful rendering of a woman, eyes closed, in contemplation. There is a silhouette of a meditating figure in the foreground. Text reads, There is always more than enough. There is never just enough. Awake Wider.

“At a single stroke I lost recognition. No longer need I practice self-discipline. [I am] manifesting behavior of the way of the ancients, Never falling into despondency, There is no trace anywhere.”

If you want to attain it
You must ride the bone of space

Be careful! Be careful!

Stones rise up into the sky
Fire burns down in the water
Ride your horse along the edge of a sword;
Hide yourself in the middle of the flames
Blossoms of the fruit-tree bloom in the fire
The sun rises in the evening
-from Zen-rinkushu

A picture of a poem, which reads: sitting quietly, alone or together, listening, attending. Questioning deeply without knowing, facing directly whatever arises - pain, discontent, wanting, sorrow, and the habitual escape into the pleasure and pain or thinking, judging, believing - Sitting, walking, working silently in the midst of inner and outer turmoil, letting it be without separation, attending and questioning thoroughly, not getting entangled in thoughts of attainment or fear of failure, not knowing the outcome - Can the murky pool of the age-old, troubled, self-centered, self-enclosed human mind open up, clarify, empty out on it's own? The emptiness of no-self, the wholeness of love and compassion.
Sitting quietly, alone or together, listening, attending. Questioning deeply without knowing, facing directly whatever arises.
From: Seeing Without Knowing - Writings on Zen Work, by Toni Packer

The art of time flows,
carving deep lines on faces,
echoes of a life.
(English version)
----------------------------------------
L’arte del tempo,
incide rughe sul volto,
eco di vita.
