This is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.
“You can't see the future coming -- not the terrors, for sure, but you also can't see the wonders that are coming, the moments of light-soaked joy that await each of us.”
"Although the wind
blows terribly here
the moonlight also leaks
between the roof planks
of this ruined house."
(translated by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Aratani)
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
“Our choice always is the same: save the world or savor it. And I vote for savoring it. And, just because everything is about something else, if you savor the world, somehow -- go figure -- it’s getting saved.”
