日高門尚掩樹暖雨初晴独坐幽花落間庭春艸生讀書頗樂道省事豈無情性本憐微物相馴鳥雀鳴 Sun risen high, door still shut tight, Trees all warm, rain just clearing up, Alone I sit where mysterious flowers fall In quiet courtyard where spring plants grow. Reading books, greatly enjoying the Way, Reducing chores—doesn’t that help the feelings? By basic nature, fond of tiny things, As if tamed, little sparrows chirp. Japan, Asia
