A thousand years cat

April 15, 2014

This tearful last poem, by a thousand years old cat, spirited away in winter’s wind, like soft snow melting, like soft snow melting… // in memory of Matamune from ShamanKing

Between past and present, feminine and masculine, matter and spirit, being alive and being a ghost, light and darkness, remembering and forgetting, a fabric of in-betweenness, crossing artificial boundaries?

Moonless night

Big shadow

December 14, 2013

Great cultures diverse

November 16, 2013

Great cultures are diverse, only humility could move mountain, lowly river brings a vast ocean, patient and respect create space to learn, turning differences into strength, unrealized by a fulled mind. Bankei Yōtaku (1622-1693) Even Sakyamuni (past Buddha) and Maitreya (future Buddha) are servants.

An angel’s trap

Arousing thunder

October 2, 2013

Creative force lurks under gentle receptiveness, glowing heaven below this dark earth. A thunder from the deep, overcoming inner shadow, arousing the seeds of spring. // on the 51st diagram พลังสร้างสรรค์ซ่อนเร้น ใต้การโอนอ่อนที่นุ่มนวล แสงสวรรค์อันเรืองรอง ภายในโลกอันดำมืด สายฟ้าจากเบื้องลึก ต้องเอาชนะเงาตน เพื่อเพาะเมล็ดพันธุ์ แห่งฤดูใบไม้ผลิ // แผนภูมิที่ 51
