a quote by Dogen
by way of a Linda Hogan book
a gift from dear Christina
"Do not doubt
that the mountain walks.
It just doesn't walk
in human time."
we are vagrants, pickers
taking what has been left behind
everything that is us
granted by the elements
not knowing their source
we hoard what has been bestowed
building personal treasure
which turns into garbage
the mountain walks
the ocean climbs to the sky
the moon offers itself
open your hands, release
close your eyes, trust
your heart will bloom
the world will feed it
that essential nectar
