Poems by Brother Ollie: the Tired Monk
Great metaphor. A Zen-like commitment. Truth, care, work. Sweep the inner temple. Some beer sake before bed.hp
Good one, Humbucker. Like HP said, it has all the hallmarks of Zen: simple, yet deep
I love "no match for these old roots". Cool.
It "wood" be a shame to hurt such a determined tree. Nice write.
