Towards a New Year

indra jala mayam visvam vyastam va chitra karmavat

bhrama va dhyayatah sarvam pashyata sukha udgamah

Contemplate the entire universe as a magic show

On the greatest scale imaginable.

Fabulous art, an immense painting in motion.

God is a magician whirling galaxies of fire

Juggling atoms, planets, and us.

Everything, everything is fleeting.

Meditating in this way,

Great happiness rises in the heart.

Did you put it
there for me?

Cookies for Santa

Christmas Eve

This year Y made the dinner, and the cake.

And the cookies for Santa. In her note she said if he's full, to please take the cookies in the bag she left for him and give them to the reindeer.

And now not a creature is stirring in all of our house, well maybe just one ...you know...the mouse...

shhh...sweet dreams of sugar plums to all....

Birthday with Klee

Every year on my birthday I go to find Paul Klee and wish him a happy birthday, we are both born on 12/18. This year for the first time I had a party and he was one of the guests, right in the center of table.

Would you believe if I said I wished for a Tomare Christmas?

How does the moon eat a marshmallow?

He dissolves into her

one bite by soft bite

Form merges to form

as white touches light

A campfire burning

deep into the night

Moon's marshmallow murmurs

in squishy

delight

Meditation tonight at Hana

BYOM

notes from today

I got to Hikari machi.

There was only a blind man

to ask my way.

I smiled and walked in the direction of

the light.

Yuki (1)

I'd paint the sky blue

and give it to you

All light teach lines

Beneath the half moon,

sharing a blueberry

chocolate

with her.

(Beppu, 12/4)

Yuki (2)

Moonlight bounces down

Onto asphalt ground.

Yuki-white clouds

clear the sky

Yes I can' write

this bouncy fluffy moving light

The sun and moon are dancing before my eyes

and you are a laugh

in my heart

Beppu, 12/4

Yuki (3)

I'm sorry

now I cry

as I kneel beneath this sky

The view is everything I see

and I this tear

a taste

of me.

Beppu 12/4

Two black birds and one half moon,

If I don't get to the onsen soon

I'll be late for my little

big girl.

I completely see

the moon dust

snow.

17:17

Looking out over the sea

Feeling life's

a mystery

Watch a boat who passes by

1/2 way between sea and sky

1/2 moon

called me to the bath

1/2 moon

1/2 moon

half moon

Half

Passing Sails

Sugoi, moon

It's all

sugoi

Passing Waves

Danger

is always the way

to safe shores

(still, I miss you)

Y0u-me town (1)

Molasses and

marshmallow

then

the bus

home

You-me town (2)

They didn't have molasses

got a daikon instead

and a local fresh

green brocolli head

The marshmallows white and perfectly fluffy

bring me back to yuki and the clouds.

Anyway it's now now and

they're nicely on top of my towel in the onsen wicker bag.

Dark sky and a no smoking sign

passing Beppu Bay.

Tamago sails and

tiny lights

I'll end these poems

as it turns night
