Sunday Zen with John Tarrant & Friends: Dodging the Monsters, Chasing the Plum Blossoms
In the East, ice and more ice,
It is like claws, a lock, and the thaw is slow
which is hard on the little creatures.
In the west, delirious daffodils and, finally, plum blossoms.
In the capital, presidents are screaming, red faced.
Red is a nice color,
I had a bright red car once which I bought because, well I’m a bit color blind.
In any event, it’s time for modest and encouraging early blooms like hound’s tongue
which is actually stars, blue stars, a galaxy,
pointing to the inner life which heals, opens us,
and for which we sing
and sit very still
Sit with us, Sit with us, we are building a culture for awakening
Join us this Sunday.
—John Tarrant
Meditation is not a task with a known goal. It’s something you can’t do wrong, a chance for the things of this world to come towards you and to meet you, for doors to open by themselves, and for us to see where the ancient paths lead.
Waking up is something we do together, in the online temple on Sunday. We love it when you join us.
—John Tarrant Roshi and all of us at PZI
