Zazen and the Mountain

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Touch2Touch

The birds have vanished into the sky,

and now the last cloud drains away.

We sit together, the mountain and me,

until only the mountain remains.

    Interesting – in your picture I see a ‘birdless’ sky; but also a hint of a jet trail… (top right side in the blue). A bird of a different feather…
