Description
This calligraphy shows a line of poetry by the Tang poet Han Shan, the Chinese Zen hermit poet called Cold Mountain. I love this phrase and so do many Zen practitioners. From the first time I heard My mind is like the autumn moon, I wanted to brush it. Here is a cursive calligraphic version of this Zen song.
The characters are:
吾 my
心 heart
似 like
秋 autumn
月 moon
You can read the entire poem in The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain, a marvelous translation of Han Shan's poetry by Red Pine
