*From the Shobogenzo, (The Eye and Treasury of the True Law), chapter Sansuikyo, "The mountain and river Sutras" by Great Master Dogen. Note: In some translations of this chapter the above quote reads "The green mountains are forever moving..."
This morning I woke with the words of something I wrote while I was out walking a couple of days ago. You can see part of it over there to the left under the title to this 'Blog', (that's short for 'Web Log' by the way). Here is the whole piece:
Rise up!
Rise up and greet the dawn.
Step out!
Step out and the Great Earth,
Leaps joyfully.
Walk on!
Walk on and forget...
It is said that the Great Earth is the foundation of gratitude and refers to the fundamental ground of Everything. That's a 'great' larger than normal conceptions.
So, now there are many hours in the air with Air Canada, 18 hours I think.
