No Gap Between

Considering the Wild Fox koan where a Zen master falls into the body

 of a fox for five hundred years, Dogen questions, “…Just what is the

 subject that falls and just what is the object fallen into?”

In response, Dogen turns the question and brings it back home:

“What form and color does the universe that has continued from the past

have in the present?”

Dosho Port, Keep me In Your Heart A While [from Dogen,

“Great Practices” (Daishugyo), in Gudo Nishijima and Chodo

Cross trans., Master Dogen’s Shobogenzo, Book 4]

“Before you think who you are, you are you,’ means you are exactly

 the universe, exactly, harmoniously intimate, no gap between.”

Dainin Katagiri, in Dosho Port, Keep me In Your Heart A While
