Spring sitting


While we sat zazen
spring finally birthed itself
all in a rush
as it does unfailingly.

Hard, though, for each to believe
it wasn't our personal labour,
breathing through the contractions
of our minds and hearts.

Catching up... love all the photos, as always, especially the previous one, and this... .with that empty chair, inviting. Glad to read about your retreat, so powerful and soul-satisfying for you. Hope spring will keep that spirit bouyant!

Beautiful, both.

LOVE this. Exactly how I've been feeling these past few sunny days, without having the words to put to it myself. Thank you for that!
