zen????!
hy suzie, thank you, this is my approach to zen, I am concerned with this religion since I am 16, I like especially the zen master sengai, you can find paintings of him in the net, I will try to send more short poems, maybe a little explanation to the three peoms, seeing your shadow is meant shadow of a tree on the grass, feeling alright means I am facinated by it´s look, nothing to change, means it brings me in good mood.
the second is about a girl at internship and her lack of zen, she is saying hello but in real she is meaning goodbye!
the third is about a tree again but this time one wich flourish, and I talk to him , saying like me, and ending with complete harmony between me and the tree!
hope the comments were helpful, nice day harry

I must admit I know very little about zen and what I have found to read online makes little sense to me. Is it all just about meditating? I'm sure I've missed the point somewhere, please enlighten me harry!
haha, you are not the only one, Sarah.
well actually its about enlightment and getting rid of pains! to this goal that is called enlightment, there are used curious methods, liking asking paradox stuff, or even kicking or punching!some people just get englightment when they are punched , actually zen people are monks, but as you can see I am only interested in my sort of zen, that´s called harrys zen, means my own zen, I like the zen master sengai, but with the rest I cannot start much.
from sengai comes the simile, that if it were all about meditating or zazen, sitting still, then frogs also would be all enlightened! so you see zen is not without humour. hope I could help you further.
Thank you Harry, it's always interesting to hear more about Zen. It's hard for me, I live with chronic pain and fatigue so going with the flow isn't very easy but I'm trying. I do have moments of clarity while in nature and feel very at one with the rest of the world. I've been taking my journal out with me on my walks and stop and write poetry, something I haven't done in a long time.
