No path but this one-

I walk alone.

Cuckoo,

let's go - how bright

the western skies!

from Japanese Death Poem,  

May 5, 1801

The setting October Super Moon - Harvest moon

 

Opinions are sometimes wrong,

but what kind of opinion is this

that's blind to the right road?

O eye, you cry for others:

sit down awhile and weep for yourself!

The bough is made green and fresh 

by the weeping cloud for the same reason

that the candle is made brighter 

by its weeping.

Rumi

Walking into pastels..

                                            
 

Before the shrine the

mandarin tree its fruit 

wet in the autumn rain

Santoka Taneda

New Mexico red delicious apples

 

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely

is made for the eye of one who sees.

Rumi

Gibbous moon and the rainbow bridge

 

 

Wide awake

and  feeling the moon right above.

Santoka Taneda 

September's full 'Corn' Moon setting

 A fine delight is needed for devotions to bear fruit:

a kernel is required for a berry to produce a tree.
