    Poetry Mood

    I seem to be in a poetic mood. So here goes...

    Life is rushing all around me
    People going here and there
    I wonder, do they even take
    one little minute to contemplate
    who they are
    in all their glory
    do they even know
    how divine energy
    flows down to them
    even now
    in all their
    rushing about?

    Japanese Death Poems

    I saw an interesting book titled "Japanese Death Poems" at the book store this weekend. It is a collection of poems translated from monks and samurai, who have written poems on the day of their death. Apparently, it is quite a tradition. There are some very beautiful poems in that book.

    Here is a poem that I wrote, heh, however, it is not my death poem:

    It's not the body
    It's not the imagination
    It's not the emotions
    It's not the mind
    It's not the unconscious
    What is it?
    Look where it is not
    and you will find It
