Kwatz!

Just a gentle reminder for the old bear... not to take yesterday into this very moment. Happy new day! Practice happy new day with your whole body-mind. Let self and others fall way without expecting anything than this.

Kano style painting

Scroll after scroll

the painters of Kano school

tell the same story

the point where form vanishes into nothing

the moment when nothingness turns into form

both different and both the same

Old froggy-like Kodo

Old Kodo

aimlessly being

covered in mountains and clouds

stitched

on his robe

if you pay attention

you might notice a bird

soaring

in the deep blue

all around

and the fragrant flowers

and cool snow

on your hands

Onsen in April

A very modest haiku written as I was soaking in the outside bath in a delightful mountain onsen under a gentle rain:

In the steaming hot water

her little cold fingers running along my back

Spring rain
