Collecting Zen

This is a collection of philosophical poems, describable by reports of zen-focused, living-in-the-moment views in a normal life. Many of the poems are discoveries of words to use in expression of spiritual understanding or clarity. Some are note-taking in the quest for enlightenment or musing about it.

The collection of poems are a blend of new and old. Much of what I write I view as philosophical. I love Taoism and Zen and feel their influence. I believe all worthwhile things are a collaboration between us and God. My hope, when I write, comes from a place of kindness and gentleness.
