I Took a Walk Through the Pines This Morning After Turning Compost

I Took a Walk Through the Pines This Morning After Turning Compost

I just found this poem as I was processing this photo.

That the self advances and confirms the ten thousand things

is called delusion;


That the ten thousand things advance and confirm the self

is called enlightenment.



- Zen Master Dogen Zenji, 1200 - 1253
Moon in a Dewdrop
