More middle of the night rambling, this time with Eihei, Tiantong (Dogen's teacher in China, Rujing) and our other friends hovering and guiding. I even bumped into Vasubandhu and Asanga, brothers literally and dharmically.
Painting in
The eyes
Of the Buddha
I see.
Raising a whisk
Or tossing it down
This last breath
Lets go.
Rising In spirals
Warm air gyres
Over the peak
This wild bird.
Standing here, now…or lying down
There is nothing
That is somewhere
Else.
