Repose I sit a Buddha in repose And gather wisdom in compose Grinding all the mill in will By sitting quietly and still Opening my port of mind Reaching for surcease of kind Sharpening my senses blade By testing the arcade afraid I wet my finger to the air Ever testing what I dare Mixing mortar with the grime Spicing all with salt of time And when the recipe be done I bake it lightly in the sun Put it on a scale of weigh And counter it the weight of day The soup is not a final goal It only feeds my hungry soul |

Reminds me of the rock soup story, Sy... and for some reason, I find that lesson to be very appropriate for today. |
