Foreshadowing Things to Come

Here's some temporary food for thought until the next [worthwhile] entry.

Sacrilege? Blasphemy? A lack of faith? Not in Buddhism and not in zazen.


Shame on you, Shakyamuni, for setting the precedent
of leaving home.
Did you think it was not there--
in your wife's lovely face
in your baby's laughter?
Did you think you had to go
elsewhere
to find it?
