Leaves fall
where no green earth remains:
a person at his ease,
wears a plain, white robe.
With simplicity and plainness
his original nature still,
what need to practice
“calming of the heart?”

It is Present Everywhere
“It is present everywhere.
There is nothing it does not contain.
However only those who have previously
planted wisdom seeds will be able
to continuously see it.”

The Maples of Autumn
Fall Gold by Lisa Ernst
My legacy —
What will it be?
Flowers in spring,
The cuckoo in summer,
And the crimson maples
Of autumn…
