Bliss and sorrow, love and hate, light and shadow, hot and cold, joy and anger, self and other.
The enjoyment of poetic beauty may well lead to hell.
But look what we find strewn all along our Path:
Peach Blossoms and peach flowers!
Ikkyu Sojun translated by John Stevens in "Wild Ways: Zen Poems of Ikkyu"
