I do not consent. There are no unsacred places; there are sacred places and desecrated places. — Wendell Berry To whatever degree man attempts to control nature, nature responds in kind. It cannot be mastered but it can be destroyed. In so doing, man destroys himself. — Wu Hsin In humility is the greatest freedom. — Thomas Merton #nature #taoism #zen #buddhism

Who takes the
Cold Mountain Road
takes a road
that never ends
the rivers are long
and piled with rocks
the streams are wide
and choked with grass
it's not the rain
that makes the moss slick
and it's not the wind
that makes the pines moan
who can get past the tangles
of the world
and sit with me
in the clouds
Cold Mountain (Han Shan)
from "The Collected Songs
of Cold Mountain"
