This Is Your Life - Suze Cohen

[Larry Robinson]

This Is Your Life

Early morning
I ring three bells to
begin zazen
 
I sit very still 
SIP
this unquiet quiet,
suffering everywhere.
 
A much bigger bell
is sounding
one all 
humanity might hear
 
Will this void 
finally reveal the real
mystery,  
all of us inseparable
 
desperately holding on
to this planet spinning
through space?
 
Then it’s simple, all of us:
what do we love and how,
to what and to whom 
do we bow?
 
See how that hawk holds up 
the impossible blue 
sky?
