"In Charge of Nature" number 80 of 200 from Robert Aitken's book Miniatures of a Zen Master.
Paraphrasing, 'though we forget sometimes, we know in our hearts that human beings are not in charge of nature.'
"In charge", who are we kidding? We're not even in charge of our own individual human nature.
Available rakusu rings. Lace wood, Walnut, Madrone burl
