PATH OF THE PATRIARCHS


Silent and tranquil 


The rock stands still


As I walk this garden  path 


The gravel beneath speaks 


The water trickles in prosody 


The birds hum in tune 


The pebbles shine as they  reflect the filtered sunshine 


Not very long ago 


Wasn't this  is the path of the patriarchs!


But then! 


Does it matter now !


I'm  just a man with nothing more to seek !

ZAZEN


 
In the midst of a clamorous crowd of feelings


Something remains silent


In the midst of the dazzling dance of perception


Something silently watches


In the midst of all this watching


Something dies! Something is silently let go!


No desire, no seeking, no satisfaction!


No existence! No nonexistence!


Only zazen!
