thoughts

what for a silent retreat

closing words on a september silent retreat

silence is your home

the art of making mistake after mistake

turning the light inward

traceless practice

buddha alone sees buddha

what ashes tell us about silence

my death verse

the guest of seasons

words of radiance the heart can see

from your heart to my heart

the three jewels

in reverence of the unknown

in praise of the last horse

in and out of the stream of unknowing

living without why

mountain sanctuary

ei-tai ji, temple of eternal peace

wind of impermanence howling

come : shrine of rumi in konya

at home in heaven and hell

buddha passes where flames passe

starting sesshin

stepping into the intimacy of care

those greater forces around us

vulnerability : what emperils is also what saves

beyond description

silence teaches what is beyond words

only humility is endless
