The long night;
The Sounds of the water
Says what I think
-Zen haiku-

The Thief left it behind
the moon at the window
-Ryokan-

Over the river, the shining moon; in the pine trees, sighing wind;
All night long so tranquil - Why? and for Whom?

These are taken from "The way of Zen", by Alan W. Watts.

If all these people learned to talk we might have something to say, but while words have lost their meaning, there are those who still know that to communicate words are not necessary. To feel, is not to understand ourselves, to act is not to help ourselves, to evolve is not to gain insight for ourselves only. Wisdom is learned from unlearning. As a people we must see the benefit is furthering everyone for everyone, instead of personal gain. This of course is the “perfect” way of looking at things, but it is also the natural way. Nature is perfect, and the only thing that is real.



Concrete Clouds
The way the rain falls lets the concrete drown itself.
The trees can’t bear their designated square,
The dirt is blind, purpose cast aside.
With all these people, no one is alone,
Yet compassion is crime, and laws are Swiss cheese.

back like a downwind drift.

its time for a change, towards the truth. everything is made of me. i am a part of you, so do not be afraid to realize beyond that which is material.
