on the NARROW ROAD TO THE INTERIOR . . .

“The moon and sun are eternal travelers. Even the years wander on. A lifetime adrift in a boat, or in old age leading a tired horse into the years, every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.”


"With every pilgrimage one encounters the temporality of life. To die along the road is destiny."


(Matsuo Basho, Narrow Road to the Interior, Trans. Sam Hamill)
