Weekend Zen, October 1-2

Your sadness, your fear, your loneliness, even your despair

is so fragile, friend. It can break open at any moment. 

A single note in a piece of music can do it. A kind glance

from a stranger. The feeling of the spring breeze 

on your face. A reflection of a bird in flight. 

In any moment, your sorrow can shatter

 into nothingness; it has no more reality than that, 

no more substance than a shadow.

~ Jeff Foster
