She loves to hear rain
on leaves, on grass and stones;
when rain falls on desk and books
she does roof work
The
hut, built from scraps, is approaching the end of its third decade and
maintenance is on the increase. She muses that rain and work are both
excellent ways to observe the universal as the particular and vice
versa.
Not engaging in extensive deliberation,
When sowing the fields you must work diligently.
-- Dogen, Eihei Koroku 445 (tr. Leighton and Okamura)
