TEMPLE

Practice tonight, with South Sound Zen. Zazen. Kinhin. Chanting. The reading of a poem, "[I Saw Myself]" by Lew Welch.

I was the fukudo (temple drummer) this evening.

•

I saw myself
a ring of bone
in the clear stream
of all of it

and vowed,
always to be open to it
that all of it
might flow through

and then heard
“ring of bone” where
ring is what a

bell does
