The Eternal Moment

In spring, ten thousand flowers.
In autumn, the moon.
In summer, a cool breeze.
In winter, snow.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

One instant is eternity;
eternity is the now.
When you see through this one instant,
you see through the One who sees.

--Wu-Men (1183-1260)
