Haiku Continue

Nancy continues to channel incandescent haiku pith observations, reflections, announcements, wisdoms, revelations, offerings. I continue to stand agog, peering cautiously and curiously down into the dark, deep well of inspiration into which she is able to dip again and again, each time bringing to the surface soul quenching, life giving sustenance. HELLOOOOOOOOOO down there??!!


Power brokers feast.

Torn lives pure collateral.

Planet Earth karma



Survival tactic

capable to kill others.

We are not immune



Grief and gratitude,

unlikely trance companions.

My familiar angst



My golden Guru

bright as sun's inspiration,

warm wisdom fuels me



Our minds tossed and turned

with no familiar comfort

Let's sit in silence



Grief takes many forms

let it work you to the core

Seed of compassion



Quiet invasion

paragliders everywhere

floating in sky joy






Where is the justice?

Ideal aspiration,

loving kindness prayers



Cloudy skies today

now is the time to practice,

discover brilliance



Same same everywhere?

Asia world view different

more at ease, relaxed






Forgiving oneself

what a radical love form

Doorway to freedom



Witness the sorrow

Eye to eye, truth telling heart

Grounded resilience



These threads of strong light

that hold the world in place,

Please ease our old rage

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                            ...
