Everyday Zen, Wilderness Poetry

Unraveling

Pulling Zazen’s thread
Undoing the unkempt braid
Unraveling self
Bowing, to save all beings
Dropping all minds and bodies

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.
