saturday morning with Rilke
“And if there is one thing more that I must say to you, it is this. Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness and remains far behind yours. Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.” ~Rilke*

tuesday with Hsüeh-feng
an early morning with Etty
“…Woke up in the middle of the night. And suddenly remembered my important dream. A few minutes of intense effort to bring it back. Gluttonous. Greedy. Had the feeling that the dream was part of my personality, that I had the right to hang on to it, that I must not let it escape me, that I had to be certain of it if I am to be a rounded and whole person.*

monochrome monday
a child’s smile…silent
resounding within the heart,
memories…blossom
spring mist II
the lantern blown out–
the sound of the wind
through the leaves ~Shiki*

spring mist
even in the spring mists
the sounds of water
trailing through the rocks ~ Sokan*

lens-artists: cloudscapes
Across concealed blue skies,
drifting signs.
Imaginary birds and dragons –
aimless shifting stories.
Gathering and dispersing
water droplets and star dust.
In flight,
clouds empty of clouds
trails of clouds
layered memories
a time forever gone
stands between us
dewdrops of autumn
reeds
reeds–
a flitting firefly
catches his breath ~Issa (haikuguy.com)
Dawn
moving clouds–
step by step, so soon
the dawn ~Issa (haikuguy.com)
a meditative journey
