~Zen Mountain~

You have so many quotes of zen

My Erotic Tale said:
Does a dew drop
feel its death
when it shatters
from a dripping fall

into many droplets
splattering

water
the living element

making suicide dives

I don't think this one has been posted...

Rabindranath Tagore

When you hear the splash
Of the water drops that fall
Into your stone bowl,
You will feel that all the dust
Of your mind is washed away.

don't be such a stranger
 
the Temple

the feel of marble
is slick and alluring

bare foot across the floor

naked to the world

open doors
hard wood
"knocking"

aroma of flowers
plum blossoms bloom

the scent of you
room for meditation

the Temple

With-zen

I sit
'with-zen'
my own mind

at my desk
looking at nothing
thinking of everything
'with-zen' my knowledge

satisfying
my tranquility
with mountain lakes
and streams
'with-zen' the trees

never
giving thought
to hurricanes,
volcanos and tornados
mother natures clash
with-zen

When
I spilt my 'hot' coffee
in my lap
it was 'with-zen' my legs

I screamed
with-zen




 
cynical zen...

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of
me, for I may
not follow. Do not walk beside me either; just leave me the hell
alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and
leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's
newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.

5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
car
payments.

8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in his or her
shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have
their shoes.

9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to
fish, and he
will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably
worth it.

12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield

14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know him or her.

15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and
put it back
in your pocket.

16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

17. Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a light side and a dark
side, and it
holds the universe together.

18. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

19. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are
moving.

20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need
it.

21. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

22. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a
laxative on the
same day.

words of 'grinin' wisdom (~_*) thanks blue~
I'm gonna have to use two of these <grin>
 
the corridor~


a corridor
and a door

thoughts
walking across
the floor

memory
feels safe
in the knowledge
of what is behind
the door

from being there
before

only to
open the door
and find the living

not living anymore
 
tick toc
clicks the clock

wittling away
time
everyday


like a stick
wittled
till it is gone

but time
tics on​
 
Stones

never
did a stone
have a heart
that lay
on a mountain
of Earth

it never
breathed
a breath of air
since it was formed
at birth

yet,
it has life
in being a rock
a smaller part
of it all

a blanket
of water
over an ocean of stones,
a big
rock ball​
 
I didn't see yesterday as yesterday
when it was today
or think I would think this of my tomorrow
that I stand in today

I can step back 20 years with out a step
marching into tomorrow
tied to yesterday
standing in today
 
he couldn't help being born with hands like scissors
and then hand him your prose and expect it back with out a tear?
He chewed words like most chew gum
spitting out results from his mouth like a paper shredder


it doesn't matter how much heart, time and research
went into your write he has the right
your liable to get a cut out string of children holding hands
rather than anything resembling your intent

how in the world will he survive with out being able to handle reality?
who would hire such a person that shreds all he touches
perhaps he become tired of being so cautions and disected boredom
walks the man that can critisize a jackle for being true to its nature
 
'sea level'

fiber glass slaps water in rythme with oars
slipping in and out of the water like a finger in the dew of love,
dripping as it rises and falls,
in and out of the wet world below the plane of 'see' level.

slicing the surface like words whispered into an ear
that stirs the wake and ripples the water in ribbons of thoughts
hot breath on the neck from a warm southern breeze across the river of lust
paddling 'A' channel of 'B'ewilderment at the possibilities of a 'C' level

muscles tighten and strain then release in a push and pull from tight grasps
projecting forward in short burst from the oars thrusting driving force
a spray of wetness across the stern
the motivation of a canoe looking at the world at 'sea' level

camouflaged~

Green leaves flourish over twigs under the trunk that conceals you
rugged brown bark biting into my thoughts
exposed roots sinking into the depths of earth's tones
the wind mingles the colors then leaves like memories of you

I know you are blue but your standing in front of an ocean
or on a mountain top and blending with the sky
I can't see you and don't know why
you have a chameleon personality

you easily become lost in a crowd with your celebrity status
and when were alone I see only parts of you
your passion, your Grey and the same Ole pattern
patches of our lives painted to blend with our terrain

if you were standing on a field of snow, I would then know
for red blends best with a sleeping bag of painted leaves and limbs
grasping each other like vines hold a tree, wrapping and gripping tightly
and other times you're there but I just can't see all of you because...

...you're camouflaged.

morning mist
drips in droplets
off of leaves that hang heavey
to the rivers gathering
of dew drops dripping
 
working on it boss ...<grin>

the beauty of earth and river
tranquil trees and slowly flowing water
on the shore is the the sign of the times...
