p.s.

I meant to add this also from Pleasant Hill Raymond:

From Zen Art for Meditation by Stewart W.

Holmes and Chimyo Horioka:

How can we fret and stew sub specie
aeternitatis - under the calm gaze of ancient
Tao?

The salt of the sea is in our blood;
The calcium of the rocks is in our bones;
The genes of ten thousand generations of
stalwart progenitors are in our cells.
The sun shines and we smile.
The winds rage and we bend before them.
The blossoms open and we rejoice.
Earth is our long home.
