A world without
the scattering of blossoms,
without the clouding
over of the moon, would deprive
me of my melancholy.
- Saigyo
I like this poem for reminding me that my whole journey is nourishing. It's not even that I find myself in a melancholy mood right now. For me the power comes from the simple reminder that every passing cloud and shadow in my heart, as well as all the sunshine of joy, is a precious gift given to me. It's the only life I have.
