The jewel under
the black dragon's jaw
is not easily obtained
More difficult yet
to find a like-minded friend
[I copied this down in an old diary – and sadly did not add the author’s name.
It caught my eye because it is a beautiful image
and because I am blessed to have a like-minded friend – I wish you the same.]

Good thought for this day and age: good friends are hard to find and the like minded ones today are more difficult than ever but I too, have many and so count my blessings daily. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThx to Google, found it on p 25 of the book "a Quiet Room" ... the poems are by the 14th century Zen master Jakushitsu as translated by Arthur Braverman.
