While I Had Cancer, I Wrote These

This Is Your Life. You Are Responsible For It. You Will Not Live Forever. Don't Wait.

Great Lovers Realize That They Are What They Are In Love With.

That Daydreaming Seemed Important At The Time, But When I Asked My Teacher Katagiri Roshi About It, He Said, "oh, It's Just Laziness. Get To Work." But As For Discipline, I Don't Even Use That Word. I Think More About Passion Or Love. What I've Really Learned Is The Way The Mind Moves, And How The Mind Works. Rather Than Discipline, I Know How To Seduce My Mind.

Take Out Another Notebook, Pick Up Another Pen, And Just Write, Just Write, Just Write. In The Middle Of The World, Make One Positive Step. In The Center Of Chaos, Make One Definitive Act. Just Write. Say Yes, Stay Alive, Be Awake. Just Write. Just Write. Just Write.

Don't Let Yourself Be Thrown Away....continue On No Matter What....continue To Make A Positive Effort For The Good.
