      It’s Not All Bad. A Picture And A Poem.

White Snow Clings 

White snow clings to the roofs of the cars.
Fresh daisies on my windowsill.
Every moment is perfect.
My zen teacher told me.
Even his death.
Dying trying to save.
His baby daughter Maya.
Drowning in a lake in Switzerland.
Which held so many perfect moments.
And was so deep as never known.

(in honour of Kobun Chino Roshi And His Daughter Maya) 
Winter Arrived This Morning
