This was a first for me, Michael. I enjoyed many of these interpretations today. Thank you for your instruction --I am learning. I am learning.

Good morning, Mike, This it a great post and I really enjoyed it, so I restacked Li Bai - being short and profound enough to attract attention - with this note:

This is a truly great post with real poetic gems from all around the world, translated into modern English by Michael R. Burch, who is a terrific poet in his own right. This is his translation of Li Bai:

Zazen on Ching-t’ing Mountain

Now the birds have deserted the sky

and the last cloud slips down the drains.

We sit together, the mountain and I,

until only the mountain remains.
