Learning from the Pine Tree

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.

Dogen Zenji


But do not feel overwhelmed by the length of this journey. All you ever need do is focus on one thing, what you are doing. Stay on the path and put one foot in front of the other - that is all. There is joy in the struggle.

P.T. Sudo


From the pine tree
Learn of the pine tree.
And from the bamboo
of the bamboo.
