Thank you, Spark Zen! These poems are wonderful, brush strokes in the dark. Here's another, Tendo Nyojo gave dharma transmission to our great teacher Dogen Zenji and died in 1228:

I've given you my all,

tossing it your way with a hearty laugh.

i entrust it all to the Spring Wind

for there is nothing more that I need to do.

I wonder why he chose "spring wind" and not one of the other seasons? I am so impressed by how these poets capture the ephemeral beauty of life at the edge of its abyss.

Bowing!
