The Permanence of Impermanence



Cherry trees will blossom every year;
But I'll disappear for good,
One of these days.
- Philip Whalen, 1923 -June 26, 2002
Zen priest, Abbot of San Francisco Hartfort Street Zen Center
Associated with West Coast Beat poets


Listen,
all creeping things -
the bell of transience.
- Issa


Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
- Isaac Asimov
