CD 417 Ishite-ji Temple 51


at Stone Hand Temple
kaeru hops onto my lap
I inspect features
each bump I have come to see;
recognizing myself there
I inspect features
contemplate silence, whisper
thanksgiving for us
reaching these destinations
each one a success to pass
thanksgiving for us
taking a smooth stone from her
webbed foot; Buddha sighs

Note:
kaeru = frog, return in Japanese
Also is a lucky symbol and related to travelers
kaeru is my companion guide on this journey
We are both ...female :)

    Each day we can be reborn.
    I liked your post too - but could not leave a comment, though I tried.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
