Haiku 33

Standing in the rain
Trying to wash it away —
I’m made of water…

We're born from strife

Haiku 32

Karma is a friend
Not a judge or a jury --
More like a suchness...

Western culture, rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs, lends a poor translation

Haiku 31

What do you do with
Thoughts that won’t leave about loves
That already have

I welcome them with the innocent love of the day I met you.
I let them pass with the wise love that hugged you farewell.
The eternal love?
No, for still I cling to this cycle.

Haiku 30

Did it to myself
But I did it to you too
Glad you like "new you"

My energy attracts you. My love let's you fly. But then you don't need me. I cry at the divine.

Haiku 29

This morning I woke
And was excited to see
Squirrels under a tree

Just another mundane winter's day to most -- which only contributes to the miracle.

Haiku 28

Nothing requires
A fall leaf to pass through it
To become the sky

Mind the slow patterns; they carry the ancestral knowledge. How close must you get before the sky reveals itself?

Haiku 27

You frame the picture
But the picture is a frame
What have you captured?

A box for a box for that which cannot be named. What a wondrous affair..
