I found this Zen term when I looked for one suitable for this season. Apparently, it means “although white clouds come into the world one after another and change their shapes and places constantly, the mountain remains the same.”
In other words, it means “some things never change” and I gave a big nod to the theory.

“I meet someone.” I was thrilled when I found this Zen term. Meeting with someone helps expand your life. I am going to meet this kind of “someone” today.

As it is already July, I searched for Chinese poems and Zen phrases connected with the month. Then I found surprisingly large number of them containing “clouds”. Here is one of them that means “in summer we can see numerous clouds of different forms”.

I searched for a Zen phrase that matches this season and found this one.

Tiny dews and huge rivers make no difference.

I am afraid many people would ask why I want to write this well-known and often seen and heard Zen phrase. Moreover, I found a number of theories about its origin.
Still, I have a pleasant feeling when writing this passage and I think that concludes all well (and good).

It roughly means apparently, “In winter, withered grass seem burned up by wildfires, the roots actually survive and burgeon when spring winds begin blowing.”
There seems to be two interpretations to this Zen phrase: one is “spring season symbolizes regeneration of hope” and the other; “even if you think you got rid of earthly desires through acetic trainings, worldly desires remain at the base and they can’t easily be pruned away.”

I searched for Zen phrases of this season to use as materials of my calligraphic activity. Then I found this one, apparently meaning “just forget everything, including the world, ourselves even about satori, or achieving enlightenment and listen to nature concentratedly and consider it the best to be as we are, then we will reach the state of absolute truth.”
However, the problem is that I just don’t understand what I wrote above.
