Today on NPR (Pacific Time) I heard a haiku by Issa Kobayashi that I have not been able to get out of my head. He said:
"In this world
We toil on the roof of hell
Gazing at flowers."
He may be right. There are many days when I wonder what is about to bubble up and engulf me. But there are flowers. And they are so beautiful.

How did you know I needed to hear that quote today!?
That's profound! I sure hope that I always see flowers to reassure me that I'm still on the roof.
