In Spring, hundreds of flowers;
in autumn, the harvest moon;
in summer, a refreshing breeze;
in winter, snow will be there with you.
If useless thoughts do not lurk in your mind
any season is a good season for you.
-Chinese koan
Today it's off to daughter's house
..but first a massage
and house caring to leave it nice for husband while I'm gone
No useless thoughts today
only good season
A cold, sunny winter day
joy

Lovely!! I hope your day has been an enjoyable one!
ReplyDeleteLove it Suz, have a safe and wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteBeware of the massage. I have a tale of woe to tell!
ReplyDeleteNot you, of course, just me. Nobody could be quite as contrary as me. So I wish you health and happiness.
Love the koan, Suz -- may you find joy all around you.
ReplyDeleteif only the wind and the breeze and the snow was enough to sustain us through the times we live in, if only life were as simple as in the times when the koan had been said.
ReplyDeleteyou are wise
