A Few Haiku, For You

Nancy's getting her groove back, finding the flow again, tapping into the inspired stream of her haiku mind/heart, boiling it all down to essentials, not wasting words. May these examples touch and enliven your own wellspring of living this full life.

 
                                     Sunrise over mountain, our balcony's gift of morning 


  
Wake up and relax 
surrender to the unknowns. 
Ego takes the reigns 



Our carbon footprint 
flying across the planet, 
way out of balance 



What is the meaning? 
Grief stays in my lap these days, 
rain clouds or fog? 



A day to make peace 
releasing the worry mind. 
Ripe fruit on the ground 



The way of the world: 
vast chaos and confusion. 
Life forms' harmony 


Pine tree crickets hum 
breaking the afternoon silence, 
lulling me to sleep 



Believe in something. 
The way the moon crosses the sky 
rich Nature teaching 



Grasping for the truth 
our tender deluded minds. 
Mountains reach for sky

INDIA!!!!!!!

So we're here, at our Delhi hotel, it's 715am on 1 October. It was an adventure. The plane left LAX 3 hours late, so we figured we'd probably miss our connection in Istanbul. The pilot must have been pushing the throttle though, because we arrived in about an hour and a half less time than scheduled. Searching the Departure board after de-planing we could see our Delhi flight listed with the note: go to gate, meaning the plane hadn't yet left. Where is my body At 40,000 feet high? Grounding in prayer helps. Now, where was Gate F18? Turns out it was at least a mile power walk........no exaggeration.....from where we were, so that's what we did. And there were the lines of people waiting to board. We got our aerobic workout for the day, made our flight and arrived on time in Delhi a couple + hours ago.......a bit the worse for wear. Our arranged for car picked us up as planned, and got us safely to Wangdhen House in Majnukatilla, where we're resting in the lobby a...

Renewed Discovery

A few days ago now we both woke up and after a while expressed to each other our hitherto unspoken yet identical questions about why we're here, in India, at Stupa Guest House, at Sherabling. Seems like we're both thinking and wondering the same thing.   What is our purpose? We are displaced, loose threads here yet our hearts belong Of course Nancy is here for Situ Rinpoche's formal teachings in late November, and Mingyur Rinpoche's teachings before that, in early November. But beyond that, it seems, we've both been wondering. The journey to get here this year seemed more difficult, to both of us. The adjustment perhaps more challenging as well, although it's not been two weeks yet, and that's always my turn around point for making the shift. So Nancy declared that we should take the day to have some fun. Uh......what would that mean? So an impromptu plan was formulated to head into Bir. A sort of "get out of Dodge" scenario. Visit the natural chem...

On Our Way, Again

Here we are, Albuquerque Sunport, awaiting boarding for flight number one, to Phoenix, then on to Santa Ana and San Clemente to spend two nights with Terra and baby Eden and Joe. Departure on Friday for Istanbul and Delhi. It all feels so familiar, and at the same time anxiously unknown and slightly dangerous. Ageing? (Now awaiting our flight to Santa Ana, Terra will pick us up there.)   Movement has begun,                                                                                                                                  Search for new inspiration                            ...
