Re-opened with thread title fixed because the original title was giving me cognitive dissonance in a very un-Zen-like way.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skys all cry
OMMMMMMMMMMMMM,
OMMMMMMMMMMMMM,
Heaven,
OMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wonderous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.

I have made five non-posts to this thread.
The threads I have not started are as the first flakes of winter snow on Fuji-no-Yama.
The words of those who have not posted contain sublime infinity.
In the silence of the night, a night bird cries; bamboo shoots unfurl, green ideas sleep furiously. Behold! We contemplate the universe, and the universe stares back at us all, a bemused look in its eye.

Many look for the Ox
but few have ever seen him.
Has the herdsman found him on the north side of
the mountains or on the south?
The one way of light and darkness, along which
each thing goes and comes.
If the herdsman finds himself on such a path
everything is all right.
Grasp the reign harder, do not let go of the Ox!
Many, and the most subtle, faults are still not yet overcome.
Even when the herdsman cautiously draws him by the nose with the reign,
the Ox occasionally turns around and wants to go back to the wilderness.

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
