Centinaia di fiori in primavera,
la luna in autunno,
la brezza fresca d'estate,
la neve in inverno.
Se non occupi la tua mente
in inutili cose,
ogni stagione è per te
una buona stagione.

Wu-men
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life. — Wu-Men
Wu-Men, from Enlightened Heart: An Anthology of Sacred Poetry; “Ten Thousand Flowers,”
Ten thousand flowers in spring the moon in autumn a cool breeze in summer snow in winter. If your mind isn't crowded with ten thousand things, this is the best season of your life. ― Wu-men
“Moon and clouds are the same;
Mountain and valley are different.
All are blessed; all are blessed.
Is this one?
Is this two?”
----Wu-Men
If you do not pass the barrier of the founding teachers, if you do not cut off the mind road, then you are like a ghost, clinging to bushes and grasses.
Wu-Men
All beings are encompassed within one all-encompassing great energy: This I understood from the coolness of this morning’s passing breeze.
Wu-men Hui-k’ai, (1183 -1260) from Energy Addict: 101 Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Ways to Energize Your Life by Jon Gordon (Penguin, 2004)
