warrior note

Zen sword is sharp .
Begging bowl is open.
These old bones laugh.

Cutting right through.
Receiving all that comes.
No clinging.

  2. Charles, hadn't thought of it that way. Traditional haiku consists of 5,7,5 sound units. The above has 4,7,4 followed by 4,7,3. I was not trying to do haiku. I just wrote what came.
    Thanks for bringing it up. Was thinking about you this morn and wondering how you are doing.

  3. There's nothing like letting go to sharpen your senses and open your heart. Let go, and keep letting go... It is amazing how good it feels.
