Haiku my heart zen



 

Cyan, creosote
hillside Buddha contemplates
desert offering
~
Often when in the desert, my mind wanders off.
It gets carried away by the scent of sage and creosote that ride the gentle breeze.

Completely taken away by the paradox
of all and nothing
that coexist here.
The zen of place doth haiku my heart.

    I needed a mind break on my lunch today. I knew this would be the place to take it!

    the desert is a place so special... I once thought there was nothing there and when I lived there and walked around I could not believe at all I saw before me.... thank you for the wonderful reminder

    No blooms still clinging to your creosote bush? Ah, no matter: Buddha doesn't mind!

    "all and nothing that coexist here"… I love this paradox, and in truth this is the case wherever we are. Beautiful haiku and photo.

    Since I have known you Gemma, you have made me aware of the beating heart of the desert, when I once thought it was simply a dry, desolate Mother nature discard. This is beautiful. xo
