SUNDAY ZEN with Guest Host Tess Beasley & Friends: Letting the World Care for Itself
REGISTER
When all thoughts
Are exhausted
I slip into the woods
And gather
A pile of shepherd’s purse.
Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent
—Taigu Ryokan
Between the waning of the old and promise of the new, a space appears where nothing is yet known or defined. It is the space between breaths, between thoughts, between dynasties and universes. Into it returns everything that ever was, and out of it appears laughter, juncos, firelight, stars.
It is a space we grow intimate within practice, and one that seems to draw especially near in the final days of each year.
Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out
—Taigu Ryokan
Join us Sunday, December 29 for stories and discoveries, music and companions.
—Tess Beasley
