Joy & Beauty in the Roll of the Billows

as They Sweep Outward Toward Eternity

『Those of us who know not the secret of properly regulating our own existing our own existince on this tumultuous sea of foolish troubles which we call life are constantly in a state of misery while vainly tring to appear happy and cotented.

We stagger in the attempt to keep our moral equilibrium, and see forerunners of the tempest in every cloud that floats on the horizon.

Yet there is joy and beauty in the roll of the billows as they sweep outward toward eternity.

Why not enter into their spirit, or, loke Liehtse, ride upon the hurricane itself?』
　(From the Book of Tea; Tea-Masters, p.113, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Tokyo, Japan)
