Daily Zen Quote - May 16, 2013

These are the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands,
     they are not original with me.
If they are not yours as much as mine they are nothing
     or next to nothing.
If they do not enclose everything they are next to
     nothing.
If they are not the riddle and the untying of the riddle
     they are nothing.
If they are not just as close as they are different
     they are nothing.
~Walt Whitman
