Poem for Flying Fish’s Shuso (head monk) ceremony
Diving into deep chasms
Peering into dark caves
No shadow left unilluminated
You proceed with the great open body
Unafraid
Into the unknown.
Tying the mind to vastness
Together, we wrangle all our wild stories.
Without momentum, the wheel slowly stops.
Stopping and resting
We notice
Birds fly like birds
Fish swim like fishLabels: Head monk ceremony, poetry, Shuso ceremony
