Kobayashi Sensei, my garden teacher would remark: "If you want to appreciate gardens, look deeply at the landscapes which gave birth to them."
One step at a time
Deep silence of the mountain -
Humming to myself.
Beauty desiring nothing
But to be revealed,
Dream within dream within dream -
Autumn breeze.
Sitting by a memorial stone
A fly journeys across my hand -
Awaiting a poem.
Mountains walking
Dōgen steps
Dōgen steps
Sitting still,
So where does the path lead anyway?
Turning within itself
The journey becomes a process
Unfolding and refolding
Stepping outside ego-mind -
Ten thousand steps in one.
