The Season of No-Mind

The flower invites the butterfly with no-mind;
The butterfly visits the flower with no-mind.
The flower opens, the butterfly comes;
The butterfly comes, the flower opens.
I don't know others;
Others don't know me.
By not-knowing, we follow nature's course,

~~ Ryokan

May you all have a Peaceful Holiday Season; and in the coming year may good reading, good thinking, good living, and many good Sanchins be yours.

Greetings, Max,

Sounds like a wonderful Holiday. I plan on dinner with friends, sitting in front of the fire, playing with my dog, and catching up on some reading. This year my son is home (he was in England for 6 months), so it will be a very joyous time indeed!

Blessings to you & yours,
