Someone reminded me today about this poem that Leonard Cohen wrote about his Zen teacher, entitled « Roshi »:
I never really understood
what he said
but every now and then
I find myself
barking with the dog
or bending with the irises
or helping out
in other little ways.
Rare and precious words.
Don’t know what else there is to say.
