Sublime Suite

In this muitimedia video the music preceded the video, then the poems. After creating the video I remembered a poem, Sublime, I wrote when I asked a patient how she was feeling which reminded me of the Basho poem

Sublime.

She was feeling
as fine as frog's hair.
When I attempted to grab
her intent, she slipped
beneath some lily pad
and I lost her hidden there.

This sublime poem by Basho, translated by Allen Watts, is Japan's most famous poem.

The old pond
A frog jumps in:
Plop.

Snow Garden

Snow Garden

near a stream
snow covers/creates a garden
future flowers bloom
a young doe wakes from sleep
snow colors down
