gassho, Shokai
stlah

[Nengei]

When I stop
Trying to find the fastest way, the skipping-steps way,
And I awaken to the wisdom of who is around me;
When I just do what they tell me without inward grumping
I might finally take a place in their light.

Gassho,
Nengei
Sat today. LAH.

[Seikan]

Solid, liquid, gas
Shifting forms
Water serves all needs


Gassho,
Seikan
