Harnett-Hargrove

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.   -Victor Hugo

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.  -Charlie Chaplin

…If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line

as a man of culture rare,

You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms,

and plant them ev'rywhere.

You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases

of your complicated state of mind,

The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter

of a transcendental kind...   -Gilbert & Sullivan / Bunthorne in Patience 

In temple today, in zazen, no one notices (good) that i smuggled a small book to get down notes thoughts that fly by to be wrangled momentarily, + then knocked aside so that i can attempt to see the clear void.

Sometimes Buddha, some times the other guys.
