Today's inspiration comes from a Buddhist nun named Kojiju living in the 12th century.Her poem gives a wonderful format in five short lines.
Merely to know
The Flawless Moon dwells pure
In the human heart
Is to find the Darkness of the night
Vanished under clearing skies.
I wrote several, but here is my favorite:
Merely to know
Questions are at the heart
Of every matter
Is to no longer reach or seek
But simply to ask.
I have made a commitment to three things: finding time for Blue Space (beach, sky), Green Space (earth, woods), and the responses I have to poets & writers. I seek to discover the art of being.
