This final scene I'll not see
to the end - my dream
is fraying.

Today the sky above Mount Hiei, too,
takes off its clouds:
a change of robe.

Corn - Nirvana

seeing with ears / hearing with eyes

The art works of Susan Myo On Linnell are integrated with Zen meditation practice and teaching.

These highly spontaneous, playful works are often made as a direct expression of Zen koans, haiku and other poems or prose with elements deeply connected to and expressive of the natural world. 

Susan was ordained a Zen Buddhist Priest in 2009, and her central work is service as a Zen monk and now teacher of Zen.  Art making continues to be a vivid, fully integrated, and vigorous practice.

Man's end,
a mound of gleaming bones:
a flowering and a fading.
