To Know What's Enough
“Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard’s rustling,
a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way
of the best happiness.”
- Frederich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra
“The point in life is to know what’s enough–
why envy those otherwold immortals?
With the happiness held in one inch-square heart
you can fill the whole space between heaven and earth.”
- Gensei (1623-1668), Poem Without a Category
