Snow Falling on Warm Ground



When I sit

Let the thoughts come.

Welcome them even!

With an open heart, I can receive them

Drifts of snow falling

On warm ground.

 

When I am work,

Let the chaos come.

Welcome it even!

With a centered heart, I can embrace it

Drifts of snow falling

On warm ground.

 

When I am play,

Let the obstacles come.

Welcome them even!

With a calm heart, I can resolve them

Drifts of snow falling

On warm ground.

 

When I am in the world,

Let the difficulties come.

Welcome them even!

With a full heart, I can release them

Drifts of snow falling

On warm ground.

Tub Koan: 1

We do not own things.
They own us.
Better to be light.
