Poem:

I dream of becoming a evil, stupid, old oaf In Zen that would be good That is their humor. With exquisite and clean execution it would be splendid. I don’t have a hot period and a dry period, my poems bubble up with the tide. I am lucky to have a practice. I just sit alone in my home. Technically I am not alone but have 10,000 Gurus. I have all of history to accompany me. I marched with the Roman empire and worked in the Egyptian temple. My sojourn in India was more recent. My American is Walt Whitman. Still I feel I am missing a lesson. I should pay more attention. I wish I had fewer distractions. To most people spirituality is an ideal I prefer it to be just action. Everything becomes Perfect only when I sit in Zazen. In the early morning you encounter no rejection just a beautiful reflection. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a life-inspiring glance accompanied by the sound current all the time. I pray for God to take action. Here is my link to Hakuin.
