Old Pond
Frogs jumped in
Sound of water.
– Basho –
(translator, Lafcadio Hearn)
Pause.
Shoulders and hands relax.
Listen.
Listen past the noise
to sounds of wind, water,
bugs, birdsong,
church bell, distant train,
your own deep breath
drifting in and out.
Listen to sounds of peace.
Calm your soul.
Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

“Arching grasses come one by one;
seeds come flying on downy wings,
silent as fate,
to give life’s dearest beauty for the ashes of art;
and strong evergreen arms
laden with ferns and tillandsia drapery
are spread over all –
Life at work everywhere.”
– John Muir –
Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.
