The eternal light,
bound by love into one volume:
all that is scattered in leaves
throughout the universe,
fused as a simple light:
I saw this and in telling it
I feel my joy expand.
~Dante: Paradiso
Reality is a spiritual experience;
Nature is practicing Buddhism.
~Dogen Zenji
The world?
Moonlight drops
shaken
from the crane's bill.
~Dogen Zenji
