notsokrates

a life of cheerful simplicity

A poem by Shi Wu (“Stone House”)

Becoming a buddha is easy
But ending illusions is hard
So many frosted moonlit nights
I’ve sat and felt

The cold before dawn.

My heroes are Hakuin, Bankei, Rabelais, Montaigne and most Tang dynasty poets. And whoever invented beer. And motorcycles. And I like cats. Will that do?
