Old Mountain Sutra

The Mountains above
The Valley below

I am a human
&
Here is my experience

The felt compassion of life,
swirling in the distant of infinity,
to the backdrop of eternity

Silence in my window now
in the sunbeams of the blue sky

The little tragic valley trees,
the burnt pines, dried crystal sap

The roar of the river
White mist of water hitting rocks
The heat of sunrays

Sunlight tangle in the falls,
Rainbow hanging from empty sky
connecting it to the ground

What is this earth
but weird & complex
Life is vivid & messy

It's a mystical mystery
It's endless light

The golden eternity
Old mountain sutra
