"Since I forsook the world

and broke off all its ties, 

I have felt neither fear 

nor resentment. 

I commit my life to fate 

without special wish to live 

or desire to die. 

Like a drifting cloud 

I rely on anyone 

and have no attachments. 

My only luxury 

is a sound sleep 

and all I look forward to, 

is the beauty 

of the changing seasons."
(Kamo no Chomei)
