Looking west from Tama
kangaroo
wheels and metal
wheels and metal and padded seats
why am I here
is this a break
how can I cull the noise from my life
separate the cream from the chaff
life is too grand to be taken asleep
but when will the fighting end?

…
tanuki
saffron and sunshine
need to release myself of my expectations?
自分の期待を捨てた方がいい？
long, long and light, flowing up over everything
 |
…
kookaburra
I will be as the water, and the wind. I will fold myself into the world, taking invention and the dreams of men with me. I will be in the temples, behind the trees. I will be alive as a seeker, listening quietly and reflecting the sunshine as a placid lake. With passion I shall bake my bones and make a temple of my body. For soil from whence I came, and soil must be revered and returned as taken.
To take music and rhythm, building from the noble things created by man. A ship on the ocean and a sail in the air. Nimble sewn devices put together in science and driven out to the land. With patience and understanding grow my heart, then reach out calm to the night, breathily.

Known and unbidden, but pulled to the road as I was born, to be and true as possible, for all that I can find is immeasurable.
A path, on a path, moving forward; away and back again, two supple legs and a heart to guide them.
This is me as I am, as I was. I hope you can learn from it someday.
