Daily Zen

It's been a while since the DZ had anything really quotable.

Sitting on top of a boulder
The gorge stream icy cold
Quiet fun holds a special charm
Fogged-in on deserted cliffs
A fine place to rest
The sun leans and tree shadows sprawl
While I view the ground of my mind
A lotus comes out of the mud.

- Han shan

I wouldn't characterize sitting atop a cold rock as "fun." I mean, it's pretty and all, but fun? Maybe if you're rigging up your fly rod . . .
