Everyday Zen

winter eyes

when I visit grandma’s land
it no longer feels like grandma’s land
it feels soiled, and heavy

Michigan feels like grandma’s land
especially: in winter
it feels crisp, and light

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.
