Immediately falling in love
Not knowing
Her name, her face
To see her again?
Loving the entire world
Touching her heart
From the single blossom five leaves uncurled: Upon one single leaf a Tathagata stood alone. Her vow to harmonize our lives is ocean deep, As we spin on and on, shouldering our deeds of right and wrong. –written by the mendicant monk Dōgen, September 26, 1242.
