Gentle but relentless,
Today it teaches silence.
Coating the details of the world,
All things illuminate day,
Radiant and reflective.
At the knee of the teacher,
I look inward for the qualities.
The teacher is no person. In a moment of rest on retreat (Feb. 2010), I looked of my window to a brilliant white snowfall that coated a courtyard. I found guidance in the moment. Unknown to me at the time, the day had much heat in store for me. The lesson helped, but was hard to stay with.
