A poem I think has to do with learning to appreciate beauty and life--without getting so bogged down by those nagging lesser concerns that creep in . . .
On that faraway mountain,
Over the ridge, just below the peak--
look! The cherries are in flower.
May the mists of our closer hills
Not rise up to veil it.
[Gon-Chunagon Masafusa]
