Diamond sun rising
inside
small black pyramids.
4 birds or 5?
One-bird looks
forward
Standing under
understanding…
Practical questions
measuring
the distance
between trees.
One-bird
looks back…
thickly
through
painted blue…
Keeping
the Book
of
Wishes.
And on this first day of a New Year, wishing all of you a year fulfilled
with hopes, dreams, curiosity and questions…
and leaving you with a few more….
What is this mind?
Who is hearing these sounds?
Do not mistake any state for
Self-realization, but continue
To ask yourself even more intensely,
What is it that hears?
Bassui
