I'm in between trips and finding my way into a routine again.

The Prompt: Gates

Again this week's prompt comes from the Zen by the Brush book by Myoshi Nancy O'Hara. 

"The great way has no gates.
There are thousands of different ways in."
            – Zen Saying

And again, first task is to sit for a meditation on that for 5-10 minutes or however long you feel is good to you.

My Haiku

…inspired by the drawing. 

Paths that lead to stone
Gates that do not look like gates
Paths that lead to ash

The Reflection

One of my trips last weekend was to a cemetery and so tombstones were in my subconscious I guess. They look interestingly gate-like. 

 

Now your turn.
