Musings on life, movies, food, words . Saturday, March 08, 2008. Stumbled into david coomler's wonderful hokku site. From this interesting haiblog. Cheekily titled that was zen, this is tao. By his introduction of the less rigid haiku form. there is definitely a lot of validity to his criticism of modern day haiku with is arbitrariness of form and subject matter but his view (esp on insistence of capitalization of the starting word of each line) seems equally dogmatic. So david (rightly) dismissed my.

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Sunday, March 02, 2008. That there is something beautiful about black and white photos is almost a cliche. there certainly is. Something timeless and luminous about black and white photography in winter. how much more contrast can there be than between freshly, fallen snow on the ground- silent and white and a murder of crows overhead- raucous and black. Of ravens or my personal favourite- a fesnyng. For the curious, here is one such collection. A bit too early.

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Friday, November 30, 2007. Outside the door this morning-. 15 inches of snow! Thursday, November 29, 2007. Today was the court appearance date for the speeding ticket. Whilst making mental notes for the blog. the waiting area seemed like a doctor's office except there was much more cheer in the room and no magazines. most of the people were acapella. While paying the fine at the clerk's window, there was a laotian/cambodian? Which conveys equality better. Found this...

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Sunday, March 02, 2008. Here is a lovely waka. By the 18th century japanese poet ryokan titled white hair-. Though frosts come down. Night after night,. What does it matter? They melt in the morning sun. Though the snow falls. Each passing year,. What does it matter? With spring days it thaws. Yet once let them settle. On a man's head,. Fall and pile up,. Go on piling up-. Then the new year. May come and go,. But never will you see them fade away! A bit too early.

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Tuesday, March 18, 2008. A bit too early. As predicted, it snowed yesterday and today but mostly a dusting. but somehow it still feels like spring. especially as i saw and heard the first robin of the season yesterday evening. a plump adult singing alone, the fluted notes ringing in the soft spring rain. the snow on the ground has all but melted but then this is minnesota where snow storms in april are not uncommon.

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Saturday, September 15, 2007. I have been pondering about the puzzling, sometimes paradoxical, sometimes muddled usage of the words heart and mind with head frequently used metonymically for mind or brain. When and how did the heart become associated with feeling and warmth and the mind reserved for more cooler things? Is something i have chanted so many times and i didn't realize until recently that it doesn't refer to the heart even once. mind and no-mind are ...

Musings on life, movies, food, words . Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Or just sitting. miracles happening under our noses waiting to be experienced while we try and strive for them and miss them. I will end with a beautiful meal gatha. Recited in sesshin before partaking of food-. First, seventy-two labors brought us this food,. We should know how it comes to us. Second, as we receive this offering,. We should consider whether our virtue and practice deserve it. We must be free from greed. A silent version he...
