Subscribe to Reader and RiddleNow that I have
reached this crucial
point, I will not fear
the peaceful or
wrathful deities that
arise from the nature
of my own mind.
For as long as space
exists and sentient
beings endure,
May I too remain
to dispel the misery
of the world.
- Shantideva
"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing?-it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
Penguin Books USA Inc., 1955
Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow
because even today I still arrive.
Look deeply: I arrive in every second
to be a bud on a spring branch,
to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile,
learning to sing in my new nest,
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
to be a jewel hiding in a stone.
