Possibilities

     If your mind is empty,
     it is always ready for anything;
     it is open to everything.
     In the beginner's mind
     there are many possibilities,
     in the expert's mind there are few.

Experiencing beauty

Although the wind

blows terribly here,

the moonlight also leaks

between the roof planks

of this ruined house.

We become available to the beauty of the moment as it is,
 and available to one another as we are.
