Work Metta

Off to the hospital for work.
May every action
be for the honor and comfort of all.
May I not be selfish.

Unfettered Potential

Who's heartbeat? 

Who's breath? 

Blank paper before the calligrapher.

1:2

Formless,
wind ripples
dark water.
From the depths,
Mu.

Zen

Do not think about this

The Bodhisattva and the Fish Bowl (a fishy koan)

A fish in a bowl knows only

how to be a fish

A fish in the ocean knows only 

how to be a fish

A bodhisattva vowed to free all beings 

perceives the fish

imprisoned.

Who then needs liberated,

-a fish being a fish

or a bodhisattva being

a bodhisattva?

No Strangers

no strangers under cherry trees
no cherry trees
only this
and we are
recognized

Tasting Tao

The taste of
this moment
can not be shared
and words can not delineate
a strawberry
