  1. This one came into my box this evening, dear Sister, and I couldn’t help not sharing it with you.

    Love Letters — Ikkyu

    Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
    And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
    Before doing that, though, they should learn
    How to read the love letters sent by the wind
    and rain, the snow and moon.

    ~ Ikkyu ~
