unwind in the wind
the road is there for me
or a beach
that is what it's like to me to
unwinding a big big steel heart listen to her sing
but first thought of Vermont is terror
ice
unuasly hard super slick surface
on a calm day lucky day
but the wind could take you in a heart beat
a thrilling ride like a seventy foot sail truck
Them old hills in Virginia how my hurt aches with thoughts of beauty.

this is probably just so much gibberish, but it is spontaneous, for what its worth, I called judih little sister once (if she don't mind me using her name in vain) which is bullshit, she is more like a big sister kind of feeling. I tell you this big brother, I missed it, my strange feeling nothing to do with Budhism ust winter weather. So I jabbered on. :oops:
Not really knowing about what it was about.

I could not even call myself a novice zen practicioner, About all the online zen I can stand is studio eight, but that haiku board at Litkicks is a national treasure.

I checked out the site and notice they make a special appeal to "newbies" looks like they get a pretty good crowd.

Artman I never thought of you as a newbe
