I cannot tell you

how the light comes.



What I know

is that it is more ancient

than imagining.



That it travels

Today we lost the one and only Roshi Bernie Glassman , one of the world's great Zen Clowns, a brilliant teacher, a man who danced with gravity and joy on the tightrope of the Scared and the Sacred. He did Bearing Witness retreats in places like Auschwitz and the streets of New York City, helped found the Zen Peacemakers order, and so much more. Thank-you for…

To engage the work of the shadow, to travel the descendent current into the unlit places, is an act of courage and a compassion that is burning and alive.

For when we re-embody to the unwanted we remove the burden from others to metabolize it for us, which…

Having no safe haven to come alive and share their qualities, the orphaned pieces of psyche have no choice but to conceal themselves deep in the body, the unconscious, in the cells of the heart, brain, belly, and throat.
