OK, I'll Start Again

Started this several months ago
To be done by snow time
Misread directions 
So starting again

On the Island

The other day, I heard a thumping sound and
looking out the window, saw a man dressed in yellow garb
walking down the highway as he struck the dharma drum he was carrying.


 Six years ago, schoolteacher-turned-monk Senji Kanaeda came 
from Japan to live on Bainbridge Island. He was joined last year by a 
Cuban monk-in-training, Gilberto Perez. 


Peace

Happy New Year!

It is the Chinese New Year
and the Year of the Dragon
and I am celebrating it with sake

New Year greeting - Chinese Cantonese style
恭喜發財 (gùng héi faat chōi) 

New Year greeting - Japanese style
明けましておめでとうございます (akemashite omedetō gozaimasu)


Happy New Year!
