‘Who me?’

Teisho #1 from our Spring Sesshin 2020. Click here to listen to other talks from this event.

Sitting over words
very late I have heard a kind of whispered sighing
not far
like a night wind in pines or like the sea in the dark
the echo of everything that has ever
been spoken
still spinning its one syllable
between the earth and silence

M.S. Merwin – Utterance.

‘The beautiful heart of peace: Where shall we find it?’

Because there is no me
and because I feel
how much there is no me.
