Weaklings
If there are great men
interestingly enough
there are weaklings too.
Who are these fellows
who lack an ordinary heart?
The monk Nanquan used to go on about
how the ordinary heart really is the Dao.
– Ko Un (Korean poet and former Buddhist monk, b 1953) [translated by Kim Young-Moo and Brother Anthony]
Yesterday's blog post got a sideways picture, because I was being lazy and tried to post directly from my phone rather than take the time to load the picture to my computer and reorient it before loading to the blog. I was going to fix it but changed my mind. Everyblog needs a sidewaysness.
Today was Chuseok. Merry Chuseok. I celebrated by being abnormally ordinary. Um. . . just reading and writing and doing laundry and taking a walk.
