At the entrance to the zendo at the Gendronniere there is a caligraphie of master Taisen Deshimaru reading :
REFLECTION OF IMPERMANENCE
TODAY HE LOVES, TOMORROW HE HATES.
THE DARKNESS OF THE PINE SHADOW
DEPENDS UPON THE CLARITY OF THE MOONLIGHT.
The darkness of the pine shadow depends upon the clarity of the moonlight . . . . . what does that mean ?
