‘If you are a poet,’
you will see that there is a cloud in this sheet of paper.
Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow;
and without trees, we cannot make paper.’
– Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh,

“Without Now
There would be no later
Without Now
There would be no before
Without Now
Before and later could not be joined
In holy marriage.
Now
is the new year!
Now is the past year!
Forever
One!
Lets Celebrate it
Now.”
