Vol. 72 Hiking is like a life

9/23/2021

0 Comments

a person asked a mountain hiker,
"why do you hike a mountain?"
The hiker said,
"because there is a mountain."

When I first heard this, I did not understand.
Maybe still do not.
I recently did mountain hiking.
It was not the first time I did. But It seems like I forget how challenging it is!
I wanted to feel Nature, and feel great.
That was my expectation.
However, I experienced something different.

I met my weakness
while I was hiking on a mountain.
The weakness which I am familiar with,
and I really do not like.
At the same time,
my weakness gives me a vital energy,
motivation, and power.

Hiking Mountain is like a living a life to me.
Sometimes flat, ease, and happy,
and sometimes challenging, tired, and discomfortable.
When I took a break, I charged energy-
energy that I can keep going.

Never Give Up.
Obstacles are sometimes very challenging, however, because of obstacles, we grow more.

Persistence.
Whatever happens, I step my foot forward.
I may pause a second to take a breath,
charging energy,
and putting ourselves together
in order to
continue my path.

I walk my life - not others walk my life.
I want to hike a mountain.

Why Not?

Vol. 71 Dream / Yume

8/26/2021

A life is like a dream.
Looking at all things in nature,
natural phenomena happening
between earth and sky,
everything is
nothing but a dream and illusion.
how ephemeral life is.
Why are we breathing?
What for are we living?
once receiving a life, it will end someday.
Life is ephemeral,
why not living every moments fully.

Vol. 70 Mist

7/25/2021

mist in a forest
passing through my body
I am surrounding by it
inside and outside
being moved by wind
expanding into the air
I become a part of mist in a forest

sweat smell
coming out of no where
purple petals; many and small
appearing slowly from mist
revealing the whole body of
Wisteria
twining stems
blooming flowers hanging
from the mist

one after another
appearing and disappearing
in the deep mist

Vol. 69 Flower Moon

6/26/2021

seeds inside of my body
floating on the surface of water
water in the green forest
between spring and summer
I am in between
between earth and sky
between water and air
I am in between
the moon gives light to the
seeds inside of my body
dance to come out
to germinate
to sprout
to grow
to reach...
Moon shines more
like a flower

Vol. 68 Unfolding

5/26/2021

It is coming
It is happening
during cold winter
something has been waiting
waiting to unfold
Yet, afraid to unfold
it has been folding for so long,
not sure how to unfold
there is gravity which has been accepting it to reside
there is levity which is now inviting it to coming up
surrender to levity
surrender to natural force
it is starting to unfold
to bloom

You make me smile,
I smile back to you.

You smile back to me more;
I smile back to you more and more.

You smile back to me more and more and more;
I smile back to you more and more and more.

It is an infinite exchange.
exchange of smile; exchange of joy
exchange of love

exchange of happiness

Vol. 65 No One & Oblivion

2/20/2021

OBLIVION
When life ends,
Where do its memories go?
Must we look to History and Nature
To find them?
Or do they remain in our stead?

No One
Our bodies are tamed in this society.
We are forced to keep our spirits caged.
When we unleash
the deepest and most primal parts
of our true selves,
Do we get lost
in the destruction
Or do we find our way
To breathe in this world we live in now
as boundless no ones?

1/13/2021

0 Comments

Mu means empty,
but not really empty.

Mu means not nothing.
Mu is actually full and nothing.
empty means not empty.
empty is not nothing.
empty is full.
empty is possibility.
Mu is a full of possibility.
