Search out the point
where your thoughts arise and disappear.
See where a thought arises and vanishes. Keep this point
in mind and try to break right through it. Take up
this awareness as if holding a sharp
sword in your hand.

like clouds finally raining
People of the way journey
through the world responding to conditions,
carefree and without restraint. Like clouds finally raining,
like moonlight following the current, like orchids growing in
shade, like spring arising in everything, they act
without mind, they respond
with certainty.
sever the attachments of mind and self
To
realize the Way you
must die and stay dead and
go on living. With one mighty blow,
sever the attachments of mind
and self and dwell in
emptiness.
Pouring
emptiness into emptiness
like waves coming to shore,
you become quiet,
luminous,
still.
Where
before there were
ten thousand entanglements, now
there is undifferentiated
Oneness, clarity,
peace.

late in life i’ve lost my country
Late in life I’ve lost my country.
Everywhere there is the malice of unearned
power, top to bottom, bottom to top,
nearly solid scum. Very few can read or write.
Lucky for me we winter in this bamboo thicket
near a creek with three barrels of bird food.
With first light things seem a little better.
