Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.
~Mary Oliver
The longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches from your head to your heart.
~ Andrew Bennett
When the moon is high I’ll take my cane for a walk,
When the wind is cold I’ll put on some clothes.
My heart is hidden in thick bamboo groves —
I come home alone leading the white clouds.
~ Lu Tung Pin
“Heart” Calligraphy by Toyoko Matsuzaki
“It’s impossible” said pride
“It’s risky” said experience
“It’s pointless” said reason
“Give it a try” whispered the heart.

The Scale of Wisdom, 877
‘The heart is the sanctuary of God, so do not lodge other than God in God’s sanctuary’
The Scale of Wisdom, 1323
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

"But if you don’t write of things deep in your own heart,
What’s the use of churning out so many words?"
What’s the use of churning out so many words?"
— Ryokan
