A poem for you all

edited April 2008 in General Banter
Just read this today, and thought I'd share it with you guys, #275 of the Cold Mountain Poems, translated by Red Pine:

I've always loved friends of the Way
friends of the Way I've always held dear
meeting a traveler with a silent spring
or greeting a guest talking Zen
talking of the unseen on a moonlit night
searching for truth until dawn
when ten thousand reasons disappear
and we finally see who we are

    Nice! Did you ever read Red Pine's translation of Bodhidharma? Really nice also.
