"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Wag.


A master’s handiwork cannot be measured 
But still priests wag their tongues explaining the “Way” and babbling about “Zen.” 
This old monk has never cared for false piety 
And my nose wrinkles at the dark smell of incense before the Buddha. 

Ikkyu

God, how I hate the 21st century.
