Spacetime in the Whites

shizukasa ya / iwa ni shimi-iru / semi no koe

In New England, Mount Washington is like the Absolute. Actually, the Gulf of Maine is like the Absolute. Mount Washington is like Isvara, first in our hearts.

I never conquered Washington but I did do Lafayette. Negotiating Lafayette is why I'm in the mile-high club. I merely drove up Mount Mitchell and Pike's Peak.

Silence! Entering rock and slowly sinking in, the cicadas cry. Flamingos fly. Light dawns on Marblehead. Basho deconstructs the Zen temples of Yamadera.
