Stumbling along as a young man, looking for answers,
Gary Snyder appeared and plowed through my consciousness opening the fertile soil of my mind with horse and plow!
I knew nothing of Zen or poetry then,
only knew that his words were thunderous truth telling.
Now on Cold Mountain he appears again!
The fertile soil planted well has deep roots in Original Nature.
The Wheel of Dharma turns.
Cold Mountain Refuge
One thousand year old reflections of moonlight glistening, clear and pure.
