Everyday Zen

On being

Changing aspen leaf
and unchanging evergreen
abide in the breeze
And abiding in no doubt
they are mountains and rivers

Written in the most popular waka style (5-7-5-7-7).

Challenging backpacking trips, zazen, contemplating the lens through which I view the world, and a love of discovering new things drive my appreciation for this place we live.
