tall thin brushes / palm fronds painting / grey blue sky

Swirling tea leaves / sinks slowly to the bottom / my mind settles

thin veil / floating in the wind / early mist over lotus pond

a sudden shower / scrubs the green leaves in the trees / Nature's laundry

across the mirror / the imperfect stares at me / i bow low to him

eyes closed in repose / silent snow outside window / old monk in zazen

chilly Wednesday morn / pale circle behind frosty leaves / the reluctant moon

east wind blowing hard / pungent smell in the cold air / neighbor burning joss

crystal clear plods / tapping on the shiny deck / rained out fishing trip

crystal clear plops / tapping on the shiny deck / rained out fishing trip

dog barks / surrounded by darkness / lamplit farmhouse

dog barks / calling out the time / sunday morning

canal water / heavy with leaves / windy day

terracotta pots / plants along corridor / single red rose

lifting spirits / through morning window / birdsong

herons / crossing overhead / full moon

thirty days / twitter, no twitter / no Matter

quiet wait / tea leaves settle / in the cup

no Way / into the heart / that Matters

playful / the moon hides / my hand

playful / the moon hides behind / my hand

busy morning / pouring unfinished coffee / down the sink

walking by / the monk with a half-smile / No Thing on his mind

not much to say / tireless birds in branches / still twitters

gentle tap / of the temple bell / inviting silence

quiet dimness sooths / right preparation for new day / early morning carpark

hey what's that? / calling from behind pillar / neighborhood stray cat

orange clouds / over disused bottling factory / silhouette of two pigeons

quiet Sunday morning / accompaning the swaying branches / neighbor's muted piano

back from korea / still remembering the taste / of kimchi

silent movement / beneath swaying leaves / morning taichi lesson
