A mountain of wooden peaks and cliffs rising to meet the Sun.
Climbing with the mind, grasping here and there, reaching the summit.
Standing atop the mountain, what can be seen beyond your mind?
Mountain of the Mind
Landscape
Nature’s Calendar
Powder snow coats the world of Spring with reminders of Winter.
Question arises: why have you not left us as the calendar states?
Response thusly: Nature follows no calendar made by us.
Moving Mind
An old river of possibilities flowing to the East.
The past moves before you, pouring into an unknown future.
Do you feel the movement of your own mind in the old river?
Tempting Return
A sunshine-filled trail, greenery all around, sounds of Nature.
Pause to wonder and enjoy those sights and sounds, a decision:
Return the way you have come or go forward what do you do?
Misty Morning
A warming light pierces the darkness, shooting across the skies.
Heavy clouds and mist obscure your view, yet the world stirs awake.
What powerful being moves concealed behind the morning mist?
Cold Winter Walk
Winter reawakened, a multitude of snow has fallen.
Hints of the changing season, hidden once more from our senses.
Temper expectations, the only moment is the present.
At the Water’s Edge
Two worlds meeting at the shore, both cold, one flowing and one firm.
Each is dependent on the other, but looking more closely.
Reveals the unseen Truth that there are not two worlds, simply One.
Sky on Fire
A sky of fire sets all alight for the briefest of moments.
Beyond the clouds, in all directions, time has stopped all thinking.
A feeling revealed, a sense that this moment is forever.
Meditation Lake
A snow-covered lake on a cold and clear wintery morning.
Thoughts abound, ricocheting and echoing inside the mind.
Yet what matters most are none of these but the present moment.
New Year’s Sunrise
A new year, a new day, illuminating the world below.
For some, a time for beginnings, for others nothing changes.
Each day is a new beginning, each moment is a new you.
