Consciousness

Doorways within doorways,
Each breath a new opening,
The Witness never leaves,
The Truth Bell always rings.

~Dedicated to the Dharma Way.

The Ocean

Beyond seaweed,
And the swell of the ocean,
Dolphins playing.

~Dedicated to feeling the love for life.

Non-Abiding

Earth, man, sky,
Not a single place to stand,
Everything changes.

~Dedicated to Japan, the tsunami, its victims and survivors.

The New Born

Paisley is born!
May all sentient beings,
Be ferried across,
The sea of suffering,
To clearly realize,
One true nature.

~Dedicated to Paisley Mullholland, born this day, 03.10.2011.

Enlightenment

Enlightenment,
Is like moonlight flowing,
Down a river.

~Dedicated to letting go.

Mu Koan

Joshu's dog,
Chases his tail in circles,
Mu! Mu! Mu!

~Gassho

Everyday Experiences

All experiences,
Are the essential fires,
Of Purification.

~Dedicated to experiencing life fully.
