“My Two Favorite Trees”
My two favorite trees:
one covered with lichen: eczema,
the other twisted: scoliosis.

because they are like patients?
And is that why
I feel most loved by them?
“Whatever I Do Affects the Spirit”
Whatever I do affects the spirit within me. And whatever is done to me by another affects my spirit, as well as his own. Also, of course, all my actions affect his spirit.
So whatever anyone does affects everyone’s spirit. There are no isolated, solitary actions – just one Action with infinite realizations.
“I Am Earth Mother”

to the spirit

evolving through me.
“With An Apology to Buson”
Aspiration:

leaving my heart.
(With an apology to Buson.)

“Creativity is Being Breathed by Amida”
Creativity is not just the doing, but the taking in and then the doing. The chi, the spirit, being breathed in, and then being breathed out. An act of Creativity is a breath cycle of Amida. She breathes into us as Inspiration and then out again as Aspiration.
Creativity is being breathed by Amida.
“Creativity Is…”
Creativity is still meditation (Inspiration)
and then action meditation (Aspiration).
“An Act of Creativity”
An act of Creativity
is the Inspiration
returned to the Spirit World
as Aspiration.
“A Breath Cycle Metaphor”
Every act of Creativity
is a breath cycle metaphor
of Inspiration and Aspiration.
