The Cloud by Dogen
This slowly drifting cloud is pitiful;
what dreamwalkers men become.
Awakened, I hear the one true thing—
Black rain of the roof of Fukakusa temple.
A couple weeks ago in my Tuesday evening meditation group someone mentioned he had been reading a suggested keeping in mind the phrase, "Now. Here. This."
It's the theme of Dogen's poem and a theme I'm trying to remember as I listen for the one true thing in my life this evening.
Now.
Here.
This.
