Carpe Diem #397, Shozanji (Temple 12)

boundless world
the tranquil gardens of the temple
I empty my mind

I empty my mind
to make room for another thought
emptiness is cool

first light ...
dawn dissolves in a gesture
of giving thanks

the first cherry blossom
tears of joy roll over my cheeks
I dance in prayer

I dance in prayer
my Creator gave me joy again -
the first cherry blossom

during the children's parade
falls off and gets squashed

carnival season...
the colours of everyday
have new meaning

plucked will swarm the street parades...

Before I leave the stage
I will sing the only song
I was truly meant to sing.

It is the song
of I AM.
Yes: I am Me
& You.
WE ARE

I love US with ever drop
of our blood
every atom of our cells
our waving particles
-undaunted flags of our Being-
neither here nor there
--Before I Leave The Stage by Alice Walker

BECOMING
being me
being a quartz shaped from
sharp raw edges

beautiful from being to
becoming that prized jewel

amethyst
flashes of deep rich hues...

the way of James
walking with the crook in the hand -
my heart is praying

my heart is praying
as I walk the Way of St. James
straight through the mountains
