Stretching out their branches
the winter trees

Mountain quietness
the white flower

January 30th I posted, on this blog, a link to my husband's (Richard Boyle) upcoming book being published by Columbia University Press. 

He has been a Zen Buddhist student for 45 years. As a social scientist and a practicing Buddhist he's been interested in the experience of awakening, or enlightenment, or satori. There are many names for this state of clarity that can be experienced. 

He also has started a blog where he posts his current thoughts and writings on the subject. Please visit him here...

The brightness of snow
everywhere the quietness
