Zen Senryu 4/7/5
Harmony
by Gypsy Blue Rose
without effort let ox follow our way home — harmony with self |
Senryu is a 3-line unrhymed Japanese poem structurally similar to haiku but treating human nature.
ZEN -Harmony with oneself and all things. Neither resisting nor controlling, the real effort is to have no effort and allow the ox to follow its own nature home. The practice becomes natural, like planting a seed and allowing it to grow. It may take a month to reach home, it may take a lifetime, but this is not his concern; he's just riding.
