Liquidity

california koans

 

the sun rose

 

and caught its fall

 

a dewdrop slipping

 

into the glossy stream

 

its soft note unheard

 

its ripple soon erased

 

the grace of nature

 

liquid ~

"The sun rose/ and caught it's fall"-- strong contrasting images between "rose" and "fall". Dawn-- a moment of clarity or an enlightened moment. What speaks the loudest in the koan is that the "soft note" is "unheard" and the lasting ripples of the koan are that "the ripple" is "soon erased". The "grace of nature"-- what smoothes everything over in nature or makes it always work out is that it's "liquid". I also enjoyed the cylcic quality as well-- a very fluid poem. Liquidity indeed.

to see beauty in all tells the soul of the viewer and possessor :)

You have got the right amount of delicate tone to prove how much fluidity life's beauty holds love! Stunning warmth to this, everything held and then balanced....the emotional impact through this is so moving! xx

The beautiful side of nature in a tiny dew drop with only a moment in time as it makes a ripple, soon forgotten to be reborn .

whether its concrete jungle or beautiful scenery what came across for me was that wherever you was you looked for the beautiful. This series as a soft whispery touch, the emotions are mature...it seems to me people have different capacities to see the beauty of creation...for some even the concrete jungle has its spare-ground flowers, its hungry birds and a host of wandering souls. Thankyou Robin.
