heart sutra notes..white bones


traveling northward

screech owls moan in the yellowing
mulberry trees.  field mice scurry,
preparing their holes for winter.
midnight, we cross an old battlefield.
the moonlight shines cold on white bones.

and whose white bones..i wonder?
those deep under or my own ~

"in the great forest
a little elephant was born.
his name is Babar.
his mother loves him very much.
she rocks him to sleep
with her trunk
while singing softly to him."

the story of Babar heads off into an unkind direction..
you may well remembre..
as with many elephant stories we know..

please join us for a celebratory class
on thanksgiving day & an opportunity
to offer a trunk load of $20's to the elephant sanctuary!

peace thru love and thanksgiving
