Whoosh! Plop! Snow melting.
White roof turns blue in the sun.
Afternoon sitting.
Whoosh! Plop! Snow melting.
White roof turns blue in the sun.
Afternoon sitting.
When walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking,
being silent, moving, being still.
At all times, in all places, without interruption - what is this?
One mind is infinite kalpas.

crawling on the buddha's face
not spring yet, but soon

Steam floats above the cup
Incense from morning sit lingers
Sun rises, birds sing

no path, no birds, no people
just the Buddha's name

a bird does not sing
because it has an answer
it sings because it has a song

World sits silently
Cold wind, Cold air, cold Dharma room,
Cold kills, heat kills, ahhh!

Blue sky, cold sharp air
Birds alight on the gray trees
No old or new year

old year and old friend,
farther behind with each step --
I can't stop walking.

I hope the new year
will melt the snow off his ears,
faithful tabby cat

From the world’s light of consciousness
Samsara broke loose, a new dawn.
Sitting here, future.

5-7-5 HAIKU IN BASE 3
(12-21-12)
Some snow and rain and then really cold for two days
The polar vortex begins to retreat and the temperatures go up again and
even seven degrees feels like a real heat wave
