Great River Zendo Zazenkai Tooà
Twitching – seek ’em hold ‘em
inward torrent burnt turn
ramble rout.
A light snowing cold day clear and crisp birds, squirrels and chipmunks ate at the bird feeding platform some atop some below receiving the rain of blessings and burrowing in the snow.
Amaryllis, unknown to most of us, reached up all the way from Boston
Manjusri’s sword invisible swiftly dispatching attachments leaving us alone with our grasping longing selves until we tired and allowed that leap, really almost a fall, into Mercy’s arms, those arms which none of us can deny we know and are but which sometimes get lost until Manjusri helps us touch our heart.
