Librarian Note:There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.This profile may contain books from multiple authors of this name.I'm always reading this book: it's been on my nightstand for quite a while now. I love the feeling of calm that envelops me when reading from this book.. Not a great reader of poetry, I picked this up whilst browsing the bookshelves of Borders. I am so happy I did.
Some favorite lines from second reading:"I've reached the point of doing away with happiness and sadness--A white board door swinging to and fro in the breeze."--Gido Shushin "Surely there areworlds where one can live free of this yearning."--Shinkei"To enjoy life's immensity, you do not need many things."--Ryokan
