Spirit - East & West

These two "haiku" have always summed up for me the difference between the Eastern and Western approaches to spirit:
A day of quiet gladness
Mount Fuji is veiled
In misty rain. (Basho)
Catfish fighting for his life
and winning
Splashing us all. (Kerouac)

I don't need precepts
I need love
I need the Vision of Love
VISIONS OF LOVE
Jack Kerouac
