I vow to choose what is: If there is cost, I choose to pay. If there is need, I choose to give. If there is pain, I choose to feel. If there is sorrow, I choose to grieve. When burning, I choose heat. When calm, I choose peace. When starving, I choose hunger. When happy, I choose joy. Whomever I encounter, I choose to meet. What I shoulder, I choose to bear. When death comes, I choose to die. Where this takes me, I choose to go. Being with what is, I respond to what is. - Shodo Harada Roshi𑁋
