Babble: Beginning Again - Practice Journal

On August 1, 2008, I set the goal of meditating for twenty minutes each day, and whenever it occurs to me, I write about reflections that arise from this practice, from my reading and listening, and from applying what I’ve learned to my daily life. I am now going to begin sharing these.

MARCH HAIKUS

Fog Bound

In a fog alone,
Reached out for Tara Buddha
But the fog was I.


Buried Treasure

Remaining hidden,
The best Buddhas are unknown;
Spring is always here.


The View in All Directions

Sat on a pillow,
Atop earth unsupported,
Sampling the seasons.


Silly Reasons for Meditation

Why I meditate?
I cannot tell you because,
None of it is true.
