My mind exercises
with Haiku's and Chinese Poems
lifting heavy thoughts.
These poems satisfy
my pride, like water does thirst:
briefly, if at all.
A man walks with endless ambition,
seeking a distant prize.
Whether the world is flat or round.
He must travel twice as far to return home.
Understand the Truth,
Zen-life is the questless quest.
The foolish footstep.
make mind a stone.
and throw it against the gate.
to hear awakening.
