* Horses
Posted on February 19th, 2008 by jill. Filed under jill.
Three fields of horses
Flicking tails
Clambering barefoot on rocks
Wild in their freedom
When I see them
Manes flowing like jetplane trails
Streams like fully integrated creatures
I close my eyes and feel the earth spin
You will let me in
Or heaven and earth will reverse
And tornadoes hurl into my heart
In desperate causes
You will take me in
Or tropical seas will freeze over
Mother abandon their babies
Streams flow back to their sources
You welcome me in
The clouds and fields reveal delirium
My effervescent arms lean back
As life and all its anguish pauses.

Buddhist Quotes
The function of fire is to burn and give light. The function of water is to wash away filth. The winds blow away dust and breathe life into plants, animals, and human beings. The earth produces the grasses and trees, and heaven provides nourishing moisture. The five characters of Myoho-Renge-Kyo are also like that. They are the cluster of blessings brought by the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, disciples of the Buddha in his true identity.
