Fable :  Inch Time Foot Gem

A lord asked Takuan, a Zen teacher, to suggest how he might pass the time. He felt his days very long attending his office and sitting stiffly to receive the homage of others.

Inch time foot gem.
This day will not come again.
Each minute is worth a priceless gem.

Interpretation : No matter how uncomfortable the bus ride, how horrendous the airline food, or how saggy the bed, we need to remember: this moment will not come again.
