Everyday Zen

Evening mist

one travels this way, through the cool evening fog
lights send silhouettes on silver screens
tree boughs and beams

now face to face, shadow walkers
the evening settles into emptiness
warm bows and smiles

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.
