'White Roses'

This is an excerpt from a poem entilted 'White Roses' by contemporary American poet John Ashbery. I find it Zen-like.

"...Nothing can be harmed! Night and day are beginning again!
So put away the book,
The flowers you were keeping to give someone:
Only the white, tremendous foam of the street has any importance,
The new white flowers that are beginning to shoot up about now."
 
Change of dollars

White missionaries bring dollars with them to the East;
Men from the East draped in orange reap dollars in the West.

-- Cynicus Anonymus

"The process that we call 'thinking' is in fact nothing more than an ongoing review of our personal history. There is only One Mind; only One Thinker. We can consciously be One with It or we can continue to be historians."

--Alan Watts
 
Blood is the same everywhere.

Blood is the same: black, white, blue, red, yellow;
Only hatred makes it dark.
