In a well that was not dug
water ripples from a spring that doesn’t flow.
Someone without shadow or form
is drawing the water.

—Ikkyu

The current carries us, the wind and the snow and the rain call out to us:

Hello! Here, today, you can wake up! It’s not so hard. Join us.

All forces conspire. It doesn’t depend on our striving.

When we enter the temple together, there is a mysterious field effect.

We are companions on the road and walking the road—we are lighter, funnier and at peace.
