Ah Zen . . .

"If you want to climb a mountain,
     start at the top."
(zen saying)

forty minutes 
     to freedom 
to floating 
     in clouds 

I need to remember 
     to stop 
     to sit.
          -still-
It's not that 
     hard 

They talk about 
     biting 
          the iron 
               ball
Yes, it is iron, 
     but who is 
          biting it 
     and why?

"Only don't know"
     just sit -
          just be - 

Allow the background 
     of being 

To follow 
     its own 
          breath 

Ah Zen . . .
