“SKY ABOVE, SKY BENEATH, CLOUD SELF, WATER ORIGIN”
 Inspired by:
 "Fresh, clear spirit covers old mountain man this autumn.
 Donkey stars at the sky ceiling; glowing white moon floats.
 Nothing approaches. Nothing else included.
 Buoyant, I let myself go -- filled with gruel, filled with rice.
 Lively flapping from head to tail,
 Sky above, sky beneath, cloud self, water origin."
 [Translation by Tanahashi Kazuaki: Moon in a Dewdrop: Writings of Zen Master Dōgen]

 "Misty autumn, fresh and pure night in the old mountain
 I contemplate the water at the bottom of the well, the sky is reflected in it, the clear moon floats there
 Not depending on anything and not tying myself down anywhere
 I give in, invigorated by rice and oatmeal
 and like a carp springing up, the whole body moving alive
 The sky below, me-cloud, original water."
