"...Don't let Mara destroy you, like a stream does its reeds."
- Dhammapada 24.337
Bhumiparsha
Nesting in my open left hand
a bird -
her first spring, she sings.
I plant my five right fingers -
they bring forth
saplings.

"With spiritual guidance, the delusion of pride becomes the wisdom of sameness."
Varada
Here are two palms,
heaven and earth.
In the air
between,
I've seen a mirror
without
reflections.
