From Kathy
While turning the compost pile at the retreat yesterday, I remembered this poem
By Sasaki Sanmi “Taking a break, resting my chin on the hoe, I sense the hoe’s strong
attachment to this field”
From Sakina
holding each other gently / we share the depths of tea
From Lesley
respect for the before and the after…for the for and the against…for the rough and the
smooth…for the close and the distant.. for the finished and the unfinished… and all that
happens in between
From Siddiq
Objects are just things / devoid of living presence. / There are no objects.
From Karima
Respect the experience, the moment, the object Reverberates. Holiness. The
silent symphony of color thickens Embraces. Respect empties to purity Connection The
Ocean taught gentleness today deep respect
From Kim C
My deepest respect/ from my heart to you / as your generous spirit travels through time
/through this bowl /through the circling whisk / to the center of my heart/ as I rest here with
you.
From Deborah MN
