Up the Mtn #227

 

-40 ~

I know warmth awaits me ~

just beyond this numbness ~

whether indoors by the fire ~

or sitting by this tree

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest #78

sunlit temporal paint

spray painting shadows

on a spatial canvas

Pacific Northwest Forest

Up the Cascade Mountains

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest #88

torrential downpours

trunks swayed by whistling winds

boisterious companions

drooling roof -  rhythmic   rain tricklings

found!      solice  in  solitude

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest

lacking substance

enter where there is no space

the way beyond

worldless   actionless      teachings    

modeling   a master's way

(inspired by the the Tao Te Ching #43)

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest

being essential

know less   understand more

do without doing

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest

fear an illusion

emotional ambuscade

Now go beyond
