Seijaku

As the sun goes west of my school building day's tiring trying work starts to windup ears tremble mildly to hear school bell ring Joy quickens to brush away lesser thing My own loving heart herds me back to home With spring in steps I tenderly pick up flowers, fruits, bread, milk, vegetables and rice on way thoughts are refreshingly nice After the crossing I take the right turn my footsteps are heard to the only one rushes to greet me, running recklessly I just kneel to receive my dog Duffy He tripples like horse when he has made a mess welcomed me to house strewn with paper bits, plants separated from root, mud and pots I transcend the limits of silent thoughts I put bag, box down. I clear the chaos, In time everything is in order, with selfless, humble love Duffy squats Zazen Life begins anew, world brightens again It is conscious love that brings peace and bliss only Mindful thoughts brings placidity to care and be cared truly is blessing Only Love and trust keeps one's world spinning

Threvini, I really enjoyed reading your post, Seijaku. The finely delineated description of the daily on escaping the hecticness of life entirely, I looked up Zazen, a meditation how proper to insert it. Everything a Seijaku should be.

you made me happy today dear friend. I don't know well about the Japanese technique, but my dog has learnt that his knocking off things makes me happy, I am at a loss to teach him otherwise. I adore him anyway, still I sometimes wish for humane rest. thank you for your time. cheers.
