darkens the green earth,
the wheel turns.
Death follows Birth.
Strive through the night
with every breath
that you may Awake
past day, past death.
Reflecting on the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, and his incredible example as a dharma practitioner, this is offered In love and appreciation for Sensei John King, who is dying of throat cancer. He is at left in the photo below, taken on this occasion of his dharma transmission.
