Wonderful wisdom this senryu is, Phil. Enlighten a brother willya ... what does the title "Satori" mean? It appears to be a Japanese word. Loved this poem though. Love and more love to you and yours.

Actually you already said it, the word is a zen Buddhist term for enlightenment or awakening. Thanks for your continued interest and support.

:D Yes you can call me "Tat". You are welcome :) I did not know that about Buddhist meditation, but you learn something new everyday!!

Thanks Tat (if I can call you that), impermanence is one of the first things you learn through Buddhist meditation (and it still may be the hardest to accept).
