A record of my training as a chaplain and other things Zen.

First post

Here's the intent: To support a practice of seeing clearly in thought, word, and deed.

A friend shared a poem by Hafiz on his blog as a portent for the year, which is what inspired me to finally practice my own Network Zen. Here's the poem:

For God
to make love
For the divine alchemy to work,

The Pitcher needs a still cup.

Why
Ask Hafiz
Anything more about

Your most
Vital
Requirement.

(Thank's Bice.) Here's to the still cup, and the chance to see clear, right down to the bottom.

  1. You go Elena.

    Poetism will get you where you are headed anyway.

    OK, maybe that didn't come out right.

    Enjoy,

    Bice
