Zen
Zen is…
The truth of Zen,
Just a little of it,
Is what turns one’s
Life of monotonous,
Commonplace actions,
Into one of art,
Full of genuine inner creativity.

Looks like it’s an artsy-fartsy day here in Moosenut Falls….
Pure abstract, purely marvelous…

Senseless Acts of Beauty…
I always love random acts of beauty left for others to discover… might be gone with the tide all too soon or tumbled by the wind, but treasured in the memories of those who are blessed to find them.
12 Laws of Karma
Apparently, all these versions around the web come out of this post https://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/12-little-known-laws-of-karma-that-will-change-your-life/
Sometimes It Happens…
At night deep in the mountains,
I sit in meditation
The affairs of people
Never reach here;
Everything is quiet and empty
All the incense
Has been swallowed up
By the endless night.
My robe has become
A garment of dew.
Unable to sleep
I walk out into the woods-
Suddenly,
Above the highest peak,
The full moon appears.
– Ryokan Taigu (1758-1831)
[A number of Asian, and Meso-American, traditions see a pareidolian image of a rabbit [“Tsuki no Usagi”] on the moon’s surface… I choose too as well]

Going Artdoors…
To reach Chrysanthemum River
I always follow Ch’ing Gorge Stream
Through the mountains, through
Ten thousand twists and turns—
A fine trip and not a hundred li.
The noise among boulders is tremendous,
The view into pines, serene;
Swirling water chestnut,
Distilled reflections of reeds.
My original mind is unstriving,
A pure, tranquil stream, like that.
I could stay on some big rock slab
Fishing, forever.
