Poem 18 - Barn's burnt down

Here’s a 17^th century Japanese example of (a.) the glass being half full, (b.) simplicity is better, (c.) silver linings to every cloud, and/or (d.) knowing what’s important in life.

Oh, if I could only live every moment of my life happy that the barn burned down. 

Barn’s burnt down

Masahide

Barn’s burnt down—
now
I can see the moon.
