                 Buds to blossom

                              Blossoms to fruit

                                          Compassion everywhere

There is only the endless source, no attainment, no spiritual path.

Zen Proverb

Move             

  

       and the way    

              will open.

                                                                          

Communion

There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk.

Sculpture and poems by Linda Shinji Hoffman
On exhibit in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery through August 25, 2012.

No moon, No ox, No I

               Empty sky

                       Endless sky.

Surrender is complete, both you and the ox have disappeared.
