walking back from the beach at sunset after playing in the water, after taking photos of the Japanese father and son also playing in the water, and the strange clouds again, after photographing and playing with Buddy Boy, i was listening once again to Jack Kornfield. "Zen Master Ryokan, one of Japan's favorite poets:
spring morning
my begging rounds are finished
i hang my bowl
by the side of the Buddhist temple
to play with the children
last year, a foolish monk
this year, no change "
Buddy Boy
this morning's sunrise from my front window while listening to the BBC Scotland . . . 645 am here, 1045pm in Osaka and 345pm in the Shetland Islands
