Without wanting

Be

Ryoanji 龍安寺 The temple of the dragon at peace  

Tiny, tiny white gravel 

being touched gently  

every day.

The stones, moss, trees, soil, wall, tile roof.  

The warmth of sunlight.

The serene place with no breath of wind.

It takes away
all the trying hard.

Be.

‘Now’ that is not on the clock.
‘Here’ that is not on the map.  

Unchangingly.

Endlessly.

Do it 
again and again.

The time of wisdom, for more than 600 years.

With a single unshakable mind.

Leaves falling 
in the place with no breath of wind.

All things are done 
naturally. 

We only need to do.  

A tear of gratitude.

A smile.

Rest comfortably

Joseph Walsh, Enignum  2012

The morning sky, tree, air.

A whistling sound.

The sound of a school bell. 

The lush greenness shining in the sunlight. 

Cool and bright.

Clear and mild.

Quietly composed

eyes, nose, mouth, ears, neck, shoulders, hands.

Eyes become eyes and nose becomes nose.

Mouth becomes mouth and, ears become ears.

Neck becomes neck and, shoulders become shoulders.

Hands become hands.

Put down

comfortably.

Meet

comfortably.

With a bright face

slightly raising the corners of the mouth.

Deep breathing

in and out  .   .   .   .   . 

One

Two

Rest comfortably
