Slow moving illness
provides time to review
things done, not done:
release them all
Sitting in the new hut, Manzoku-an, or Hermitary of Quite Enough, she is running out of needs.
Buddha's
great discovery was re-discovered millennia later. It's called the
Second Law of Thermodynamics. As dharmas (things or beings)
are
not, or do not have ...
... states ...
... but are bundles of energy arriving
and departing ...
... they are ephemeral.
All are equal, all equally
evanescent. Resting from concern or anguish over that which is as it is,
nothing need stop us from enjoying ourselves, as we might an evening of
fireflies.

Whether I sit or I lie,
My spirit roams with the origin of things.
Singing alone or rhyming alone,
My joy runs to the edge of the sky.
-- Songs of National Preceptor Wongam (1226–1292) tr. Whitfield, Park
