Searching for some Zen, I stare at belly button. Zen not where I thought. Umbilical cord to soul. Who would have dreamed it was there? |

Yes who would have looked for it there at the source of all life? Good smooth Tanka, it made me think. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

searching for my Zen in seeking enlightenment it's not where I thought umbilical cord to soul who would have dreamed it was there no wonder i thought this seemed familiar  thanks for enquiring. life's fine and i'm well--just that i don't have a lot of online time these days, due to my military commitments (S'pore is a conscripted army btw) but i'm still writing, albeit infrequently |
