What I'm trying to remember

Mizuta Masahide's gravesite




The barn's burnt 
down, 
and now 
can see 
the moon.


-- Mizuta Masahide
(thanks for reminding me, Andrea)

I remember seeing this on a card and thinking it was beautiful! I didn't know the origins. Thanks!

In the old house I had this engraved on a plaque placed right as you came into the garden. It was stolen. I always wondered what the Karma of a person who steals something like this would be like.

Is still one of my favorites saying and lord knows I have learned this well enough as to have it tattooed in my soul.
