"The key is to be here, fully connected with the moment, paying attention to the details of ordinary life. By taking care of ordinary things-our pots and pans, our clothing, our teeth- we rejoice in them. When we scrub a vegetable or brush our hair, we are expressing appreciation: friendship toward ourselves and toward the living quality that is found in everything."

The Gap


The gap 
Between window and drape 
Reveals grey sky amplifying silver light 
And stillness 
The bamboo stands upright 
Stiff 
And elongated leaves hang 
Starched
