“There are no truths, only moments of claryty passing for answers.” ― Michel de Montaigne
The Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen master, says "Do not be idolatrous about or bound to any doctrine, theory, or ideology, even Buddhist ones. Buddhist systems of thought are guiding means; they are not absolute truth."

On the bodhisattva vow ~ Gary Snyder
“There is a verse chanted by Zen Buddhists called “The Four Great Vows”. The first line goes: “Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them.” Sujo muben seigando. It’s a bit daunting to announce this intention - aloud - to the universe daily. This vow stalked me for several years then pounced; I realized that I had vowed to let the beings save me. In a similar way, the precept against taking life, against causing harm, doesn’t stop in the negative. It is urging us to give life, to undo harm.” ~ Gary Snyder; “The Practice of the Wild”; 1990; pages 194-5.
I am an old man, and have known many troubles; but most of them never happened
~ Mark Twain
We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy
Joseph Campbell
"... the wind has gone with the geese. So would I - if I were the wind." Aldo Leopold; "A Sand County Almanac"
TO KNOW THE DARK ~ Wendell Berry To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.
'Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know' - Pema Chodron
“This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged in what you are doing in the here and now” ~ Alan Watts

Thanks for this. I have a small and poor reproduction of this in my favourite water colour painting book. Also reminds me of Gary Snyder's poem and contemplation about this painting .
On leadership from the bottom
“I’ve been talking for a long time about leadership from the bottom and I’m convinced perfectly that it is happening and that leadership consists of people who simply see something that needs to be done and they start doing it” ~ Wendell Berry
“Should someone ask why, in the melee of our days, one may be concerned with questions of beauty, you may safely answer, I know the way of the future!” ~ Nicholas Roerich
