What lovely things you find, thankyou.
Thanks Geoff. Highly-regarded in her time; only now ‘rediscovered’. I will be posting more of her work (with permission from Tuttle Publishing).
Totally love it, Chris.
Thankyou for sharing.
Reminds me of the quote,
In the stillness of the mind
I saw myself as I am
Unbound.
Nisagadatta Maharaj.
What a beautiful quote. Thankyou Sneha.
Chiyo-ni became a Buddhist nun at the age of 52. She devoted herself to the Way of haiku – just like Basho!
