Today is not today

Yesterday is not yesterday
Tomorrow is not tomorrow
Nor for that matter is
Today today

Machinations of the mind

Making patterns,
not making patterns,
both are machinations of the mind.

Remember to switch it off,
when you are finished.

not two

not two but
one
or three,
or even more,
it's not that cut and dry.

Appropriateness

The single source shines clearly in the light,
The branching streams flow out in darkness,

Fire heats, wind moves, water wets, earth stands firm,
While things have an appropriate time,
They all return to the one.

Passing time

As winter dawns, pain is my constant companion.
Since I have no school, I have no meeting house. No longer fooled, I am just passing time.
Sun rises, moon sets and, if the morning mist subsides, the hill behind this residence is clearly seen.

Cooling senses

The waterfall's cascade of sound fades to whisper and then falls silent under the cooling touch of winter. All senses silent, emptiness pervades the universe.

Welcome to Kettle Dream

Kettle Dream at blogspot. First post.

Windy days. Marks on the landscape. Barriers lie abandoned. Water drips, dripping slowly at first, soon wend their way at an increasingly alarming rate. From drip to cascade in the blink of a cosmic eye. Unkempt. Ignored. Undone.
