“My objectives this morning were vague.

As always I'd hike these hills—

a way to keep going

against the odds age deals….

“Whatever this trance,

I treasured it as a wonder

not to be wrenched into meaning,

as in Every second counts,

as in You should count your blessings,

though of those there seems no doubt.’’

 

— From "Mahayana in Vermont," by Sydney Lea
