Just One Breath

Greetings,

Here is a fine article on Poetry and Meditation by Gary Snyder in Tricycle. Beyond wild.

Teasing the demonic 
Wrestling the wrathful 
Laughing with the lustful 
Seducing the shy 
Wiping dirty noses and sewing torn shirts 
Sending philosophers home to their wives in time for dinner 
Dousing bureaucrats in rivers 
Taking mothers mountain climbing 
Eating the ordinary

Metta.

Cleaning

Greetings,

Roshi likens the breath during zazen to a windshield wiper,

each inhalation and exhalation simply cleaning the dust from one's mind,

the way a wiper cleans a windshield.

Metta.
