No Limits Exist

Muso Soseki, a Zen Master (1275-1351) was also a renowned poet. His poem, All Worries and Troubles, is one of my all time favorites.  Here it is:






"All Worries and troubles
have gone from my breast
and I play joyfully
far from the world.

For a person of Zen
no limits exist.
The blue sky must feel
ashamed to be so small."

Cool poem.

Hands palm to palm,
Shinzen
