Gazing at the Moon

Full moon hovering over the perfect

Symmetry of tree line,

Phosphorescence illuminating the snow covered field

Monochrome light and shadow,,

Mystery and perfect balance

Indescribable,.

Gassho, bow

Four prostrations, morning liturgy:

Heart Sutra; Identify of Relative and Absolute; Four Great Vows; The Three Jewels

Gassho, bow

Four prostrations, bow again, four bells

Zazen

Namu Dai Bosa, twenty-one times, Namu Dai Bosa,

Gazing at the image of the moon now implanted in MIND.

A Buddha sits on a tree stump

Gazing at the moon.
