Rinpoche

Subject and object,
Dissolving the distinction --
Meditation's task.

Wonderland

Wet snow covers trees,
Branches stacked with white blankets,
Winter's last hurrah!

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

More Winter

Winter storm warning --
Snow flurries coming today,
A cold chill tonight.

Smile

Pink blossoming trees
Surprise me this cold morning,
Winter turns to Spring.

Listen

Whose voice do you hear?
A voice outside or within?
Listen to your own.

February Opening

First signs of springtime,
the daffodils are blooming.
Crocuses are too!

Celebrate!

Happy Birthday lunch,
Eating Thai pumpkin curry.
One of life's pleasures.

Discerning

"We are not our thoughts."
Yet, take measure of your thoughts.
Thoughts come ... and thoughts go.

Visioning

First look and listen,
Listen to your mind and heart.
Hear your soul's clear voice.

Mother Love

Blinded by regret,
She does not hear the guilt-trips --
Manipulated.

Body Wisdom

To achieve balance,
Don't push against your body,
Just follow its lead.

Watch Your Words!

All of our complaints
At best are crap attractors.
Think before you speak!

Sleeping Life

Your dreams are your dreams.
Your snoring is your snoring.
They come ... and they go.

Waking Life

Your thoughts are your thoughts,
Your feelings are your feelings,
They come ... and they go.

Revolution?

Chaos in Egypt,
Protesters march in the streets,
No clear end in site.

Night Music

The sound of rain drops
Falling on the wooden deck,
Music for sleeping.

Reading "The Joy of Living"

Be an observer,Without interrupting thoughts.
Non-meditation.

Rest in awareness,
Give attention to your mind. 
Meditation.

Reading "Acedia & me""

Unable to care,
Cannot feel bad about that.
Acedia's worst.

Boredom ... a blessing?
Time to be alone with God.
Pure and simple gift.

Cold Night

Woke at five nineteen,
the house was chilly and dark.
Quick, go back to sleep!

Second Month

February 1st:
A new month for new haiku, 
So write a poem!


In the waiting room
for cataract surgery,
new lens, clear vision.


Sitting in Starbucks
sipping my morning coffee,
Watching people rush.
