Spring

Sitting quietly, doing nothing.
Spring comes, and the grass grows
by itself.

Zerin Kushu
15th century China






Summer

A trout leaps,
Clouds are moving
in the bed of the stream.

Fall

If you don't believe, just look at September,
Look at October.
The yellow leaves falling, falling, to fill
both mountain and river.

Zenrin Kushu






Winter

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity's sun rise.

William Blake
