At night, deep in the mountains…

zenmind-nomind:

At night, deep in the mountains,
I sit in meditation
The affairs of men never reach here;
Everything is quiet and empty,
All the incense has been swallowed up
By the endless night.
My robe has become a garment of dew.
Unable to sleep I walk out into the woods—
Suddenly, above the highest peak,
The full moon appears.

- Hakuin (1686-1768)

”They found this amazing little spider called an ant spider. And the way these guys work is they mimic ant behaviour. So they live with the ants and they pretend to look like ants and they can produce the same pheromone that the ants can.

”So they live with the ants and when they get hungry they eat them. So they’re not necessarily the best house guest.”
