Before sitting the Weekly Zazenkai (last part) early this morning, I looked at the sky and it was a beautiful purple color with only the Morning Star in it. This verses just came to my mind:
Morning Star
Abiding in the purple sky.
Buddha's zazen.

Snake sheds its skin.

The sun warms the air
but doesn't touch the shadows;
crocus shoots break earth.

I enjoy learning from everyone, I simply hope to be a friend along the way

Not a haiku but arising during sitting very strongly so thought I'd share.
'You don't know what you are!'
Ringing out clearly from the calm of meditation....
Accepting this truth I offer a bow.

Sat today“Let me respectfully remind you
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by
And opportunity ist lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken.
Awaken, take heed,
Do not squander your life.“ - Life and Death and The Great MatterComment

川の水
落ち葉いっぱい

River's water
Full of fallen leaves
End of the dry season

A haiku I wrote while on picnic with my family in a river nearby (in Brazil's Northeast, the trees lose their leaves in the dry season, not on autumn as the temperature don't change much, only the humidity of the air).怠努 (Tai Do) - Lazy Effort

Sitting very still
The Being watching itself
