Yesterday Today Tomorrow (JG)
Yesterday I stood on a road.
Today I am sitting in a chair
Wondering where the road lead.
Tomorrow I will have forgotten
The road and the chair and the sitting.
All I will remember is the wondering.
The River Listens to Ikkyu’s Heart (JG)
The river listens to Ikkyu’s heart. There is silence there, the drift of morning. The river wonders where the memories are, the moments of Ikkyu’s life that he will hold in his hands on the day of his dying. The river wants to know but knows Ikkyu will not tell it. It knows Ikkyu like every man and woman that comes to its shore is a mystery as great as death.
