No sun on the hor i zon

Tänään huomasin

tottuneeni valoosi ja lämpöösi niin, 

että lopulta pidin niitä osana itseäni.

"Etteikö aurinko nousisi?"

Jo pelkkä ajatus naurattaa,

ja kuitenkin aavistan...

Se päivä tulee lopulta aina,

väistämättä,

jolloin katson pimeään horisonttiin

odottaen turhaan valosi ensi sädettä,

samalla tietäen

että olemme erottamattomasti yhtä.

53

The great Way is easy,

yet people prefer the side paths.

Be aware when things are out of balance.

Stay centered within the Tao.

When rich speculators prosper

While farmers lose their land;

when government officials spend money

on weapons instead of cures;

when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible

while the poor have nowhere to turn-

all this is robbery and chaos.

It is not in keeping with the Tao.

"By the river Piedra I sat down and wept"

Tänään luen Paulo Coelhoa....

"One doesn’t love in order to do what is good or to help or to protect someone. If we act that way, we are perceiving the other as a simple object, and we seeing ourselves as wise and generous persons. This has nothing to do with love. To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God.

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen."
