celebrating summer solstice

today is a good day for zazen

summer solstice
came with a
pleasant surprise:

my zen master
wrote to me

here and now,
thank you, Kaimei!

[missing your words.
the words that were
washed away by the rain
and the sea]

again: finger, moon....just zen

The finger can point to the moon's location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger [zen buddhism; koan]

a little bit of rain 2

finally!
just a little
bit
of rain

that would
help
pacify
thoughts
and
gestures

inhale
exhale
and enjoy
the smell,
the sound
of the rain

compassion

Compassion is of little value if it just remains an idea. It must motivate how we respond to others and be reflected in all our thoughts and actions. [Dalai Lama]

how about

how about
acting
like
a tree
in
the wind?

how about
talking
like
a tree
in
the rain?

maybe
there would be
less
misunderstandings

the way of the elephant

In this land of Anaka
They called us Payira
In this land of Anaka
They called us Payira
*Obiga lead me in this darkness 
Show me the way 
Obiga take me to a place
Where I can see light
(Obiga lead me in this darkness)
Show me the way
(Obiga lead me in this darkness)
Show me the way
In this land of Anaka
They called us Payira
In this land of Anaka
They called us Payira
Obiga lead me in this darkness
Show me the way
Obiga lead me in this darkness
Show me the way
(Obiga lead me in this darkness)
Show me the way
(Obiga take me home, take me home)
Obiga lead me in this darkness
Show me the way
In this land of Anaka
We had hope in Obiga
In this land of Anaka
We had hope in Obiga
We had hopes, we had dreams
Of a clear green land
In place of the family house
Dead sand, dead sand
(Obiga lead me in this darkness)
Show me the way
(Obiga take me home)
Show me the way
Obiga is no more
We are left in disarray
(Obiga take me home)
The clan of Anaka, pillar
