『心偈』42

「今見ヨ イツ 見ルモ」

         柳宗悦『心偈』

Watch now, whenever you watch.

 

When there was a phrase "whenever I listen Hototogisu, I feel it was a first time", I memorize it.

It seems that it says beauty of Hototogisu's voice, but indeed it says how to hear the voice of it.

I was asked " how do I see the beauty?"

There is no secrets.

Every time you should see "Watch now."

You receive innocent heart.

So it reflect clearly in the mirror of eyes.

If you watch Whenever you should watch now, everything appear. 

For example you watch it yesterday, you should watch now. 

In any time eyes and hearts work newly, beauty can appear its truth.

It is only about beauty.

All the truth show its shape to the full, when you only watch now.

It is at the moment, we watch truly it is  a happening only now.
