UNIVERSES

In a Symbolic Universe

In my Personal Universe
there's one blank wall

where sunlight plants a sign for me
to meditate upon.

In a Dear Friends Universe,
Audubon birds deliver a message of love and support.

In the Geometric Universe,
this 'armiliary; depicted the heavens once upon a time.

In a Tibetan Universe,
turning prayer wheels is the prayer.

In this City Universe
a bank of dogwoods bloom at night.


In a Zen Universe;
"Oh monkey mind! What are you reaching for?

Above, below, to the right or left, what do you think is missing?  Breather in, settle this monkey mind.  What you search for is not 'there'--It's right here, now."
~Enkyo Roshi~

"There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head."
~Thornton Wilder~

It's his birthday commemoration today.
A good enough reason to celebrate.
