“Circular Portrait” by Ikkyū [w/ Audio]

in this great circle.
Xutang’s true face and eye
emerge from it.
The blind singer’s love song delights
flowers for ten thousand springs.
Translation by Kazuaki Tanahashi and David Schneider in Essential Zen (1994) HarperSanFrancisco.

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
The ones that involved repeated non-catastrophic failures (e.g. martial arts practice.)
Also, the ones that confronted fears (e.g. open sea swimming.)

Panther [Lyric]
The panther is a scary cat:
Hardcore Hellcat primed for combat.
Except - that is - I have to say
The twenty hours it sleeps per day.

sunbeams pass through
a reddened Sacred Fig:
one hundred warm hues.
