Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary

On my way to Zazen, a gift on my keyboard.

Yes, it is my birthday and my anniversary.

At the Zendo, I sit.

I hear my teacher speak about autumn

The tress and the leaves.

Where are they gone?

It sounds like a Haiku, the way she speaks.

I sit.

I listen to the rhythm of my breath.

I celebrate quietly.
