Snowed in

Herb garden

It was 78 degrees Saturday. Short sleeve weather. And now...gotta love Oklahoma. And we need the moisture. Add the wind and swirling snow and drifts. Hot coffee, a fire in the fireplace, and no need to travel.

Meditation

Just out the window, black silhouettes of trees remind me of those halcyon days with you, when we climbed out of the cellar toward enlightenment. Now, at a glance, the wild birds swing into view, obscuring the real world of young men dying to get home, and the snow that falls on our brains stays solid - never melting into springtime. On the ferry, we sit and compare notes as to whom in life has suffered the most; men, women, boys, or girls? Suddenly, in a revelation, you say it is the Buddha over on Main, who sits on his plywood altar, surrounded by plastic flowers, subjected to all the passersby, who have never had a Zen thought of their own… --K.
