Kelly Hogan, again

I'm pretty sure Kelly Hogan could make me sound like a decent singer.
Here she is with Neko Case. Kelly is the one with the dog in her lap.

the cassia bough, already old long ago

The road runs into pine sighs;
From far off, it's even stranger.
Mountain light and colors in the water,
Tufted, raggedy.
On a crag in the middle,
In zazen, all alone,
One monk,
Sits facing the cassia bough:
Already old, long ago.

- Chiao Jan (730-799)

Zen at work

Accord and respond without laboring
And accomplish without hindrance.
Everywhere turn around freely,
Not following conditions,
Not falling into classifications.

- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)
