Everyday Zen, Wilderness Poetry

Underfoot

One present moment
A thousand years together
And one moment not
Is a thousand years apart
Why overlook this mountain

Written in the 5-7-5-7-7 popular waka style.

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.
