Ken\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poem has me thinking about what Rinpoche wrote\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Knowledge and time begin a dialogue right in our midst. How does \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 imply all times? How can it be that being is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122? Starting right now, I can look into existence and time together. My \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcam\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is that space where knowledge and time intersect.<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

SPRING SONG
\n by Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

I am the band, the lover, and the screen score,
\n I note up the last, side by side,
\nThe prints dotting up the snow are mine,
\n As is their wash away in dear springtime,
\nThe names don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter,
\n Only the floating notes we are do that,
\n The reeds and willows,
\n The humped up dunes,
\n The barely tilted flats of sand,
\n And finally the sea,<\/p>\n

The little stilted long beaked birds
\n In their prance and poking
\nAs they lift tiny crabs into the air,
\n I wander there across the dark mirrors
\n Of sky and sun,
\nI greet the dank coils of washed up kelp,
\n I hear the cries of gulls,
\n I run with heavy driving legs,
\n And stumbling fall
\nInto the face of a breaking wave,
\n Sudden joy lives in the living tumble,
\nThat is the child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s known song,
\n The youth sings there,<\/p>\n

He climbs up the roaring echoes of the crashing surf
\n He summits and slides down
\n Each and every moment of his life,
\n With luck he strokes out further
\n Into the deeply given
\nPassages of an ever looming eternity,
\n These are the gifts of childhood,
\n The givens of a presence
\nAkin to an embodiment of a god,
\n Sea to shining sea, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll say,
\n And now the sea itself,
\nAnd, then, an ever even further out,
\n A temple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ringing bell,
\n One\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ears awash
\n In the sounding
\n Luminescence of the holy stars,
\nTime and Space, speak to me, speak through me,
\n A knowing infinitely rare,
\n And as common as a grain
\n Of surf wrought sand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
