Wild Zazen

Tonight’s sit was another dragon ride. A maelstrom of thoughts whirled throughout the mind. I returned again and again to the breath, rooting the awareness down in the hara.

But even through such cognitive dervish-whirling, a pinch of clarity arose.

    A centered calm in the midst of “cognitive dervish-whirling” — Lovely, with a “pinch” of moonlit peace in haiku.

    It wasn’t until I got to hara that I sensed the depth of this, something other than just ideas and creativity, rather something pressing, profound. I loved this Frank.
