Some Zens



Frog

In this real old pond
this frog just sits there then jumps
in. Hey, you listenin’?


Mantra

Reincarnation
starts to sound weird
after you’ve said it
a whole bunch of times.


Meditation

Shave and a hair cut
two


Directions

When you see a sign
that points to itself, then you’re
on the right track.


Um ...

All that is, is one
and it’s this one right here and
it’s mine. Take a hike.


Hint

If you think I’m not
serious that only means
the joke is on you.


Really

Let your mind be filled
with the oneness of all things,
here, now. Just kidding.
