The Enlightened Heart -
A friend asks what book I might recommend to someone with six months to live. I open The Enlightened Heart, An Anthology of Sacred Poetry, edited by Stephen Mitchell. It is a treasure trove.
My heart rests here:
The birds have vanished into the sky,
and now the last chord drains away.
We sit together, the mountain and me,
until only the mountain remains.
- Li Po
