Tag: zen not zen

  • ephemera

    these words and thoughts --
    naught but cherry blossoms
    drifting downstream

  • sitting

    at slipping out of no-thought 
    while at doing no-thing 
    remembering the beforewhen
    where sitting was just
    for the sitting and
    considering a return 
    to not doing anything
    but sitting once again

    I re-opened a blog site from ancient history (2007-2008) and made it public again because one of my new readers requested access to what had been marked a private blog (or maybe not, but it is back “live” regardless).

    It is just a catalog of quotes and poetry that caught my fancy, namely of a Taoism or Zen Buddhism bent. There’s nothing terribly exciting there unless you are into those kinds of things, or if you want a peek into where my mind was about a year before I ended up choosing sobriety as a more enlightened path than wonton drunkenness.

    Check it out, if you are so inclined: Useless Tree

    I originally made the site private primarily to stop a reader from demanding new posts when I had decided I was no longer in the mood to be enlightened. And then I never got back to posting on it or making the site public again when that mood passed away.

    i zen not
    it reeks of haiku
    on bird-shat
    statues
