I am going to listen to it again!

But the one poem that resonated with me today was Fudo:One

Can these poems be purchased?

Sister Kitty

Wondrous. Thank you so much. These three draw me in particularly today:

“Fudō: Two”

They always focus on my sword

and fail to see my halo of flowers.

And

“Heart-Mind-River”

Mindfulness…is what you say ‘no’ to.

Heartfulness…is what you say ‘yes’ to.

And

“Inner Ecology”

Don’t rush.

Don’t burn through too quickly.

The Way is a slow-simmering tea-fire

not a bonfire for a funeral.

Though there may be aspects within you

that are dying, or even rotting and fermenting

as old un-met griefs are apt to do

the great breathing wind

of staying with the flow

“off-gasses” what needs to go

and brings in fresh seeds

for tomorrow’s planting.

This is wonderful, and miigwech for the poem, my friend!

Thank you - a wonderful way to close the day.

And I always like to say...Imperfect practice is the way forward. (not that you have to move forward..)

To the simmering, and silence-keeping.
