    Read this quote today in a Sufi book - it is actually from a zen guy but anyone who knows something about Sufis can see why it was mentioned in that context. In the style that JamesT often reminds us in:

    You've traveled up ten thousand steps in search of the Dharma.
    So many long days in the archives, copying, copying.
    The gravity of the Tang and the profundity of the Sung
    make heavy baggage.
    Here! I've picked you a bunch of wildflowers.
    Their meaning is the same
    but they're much easier to carry.
    -Hsu Yun

    The truth is all around us. We just need to open our eyes to see it.

    The flowers might seem simplistic, but in actual fact they are extremely profound.

    A rose is a rose, no matter in what garden it grows!
