“Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter…. Once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.”

—Sir Winston Churchill


…Moon reflected on the water:


The moon doesn’t get wet,


nor is the water broken.


Although its light is broad and great,


The moon’s reflected even


in an inch-wide puddle.


The whole moon and the entire wide sky


Lie mirrored in one dewdrop on the grass.

—Dogen, Genjokoan


To be the miracle,


Get out of its way.

—Distych 243, The Book of Night with Moon
