Oh sacred spirit

let us set out

for the western skies.

Hokuso 1790

from Japanese Death Poems

My view of the last of five super moons in a row
as I climb Bear Canyon Trail this morning.
Beaver super moon setting over Albuquerque 

 

Since time began

the dead alone know peace.

life is but melting snow.

Nandi (1817)

Snow covered mountain and remnants of a brief but golden fall

View from Tamaya, Santa Ana Pueblo resort north of Bernalillo

 

Early Fall's Bounty

pistachio, pomegranate, goat cheese pizza

bountiful pomegranate year

 

A morning's walk...

Hunter's Moon - full super October moon

Returning thanks

for life, I turn back and bow

eastward.

Goshi

In the Mountain

Yellow chrysanthemums and green bamboo they don't belong to others.

Bright moon and clear breeze are not for the sphere of the senses.

They're all treasures of my house -

fetch them home freely use them, get to know them. 

Paegun

(from Zen Poems)

harvest moon set

fall light

 

LATE SUMMER GARDEN

Cherokee purple, brandywine, purple green beans, broccoli, today's eggs
