Snow Lion: The Meditation Shop Now Online

I made many enjoyable visits to the Snow Lion Shop when I was visiting Toronto on a regular basis. Theodore is a most gracious steward and welcoming host. I'm very pleased that Snow Lion now has an online site:

For over 40 years,

Saturday, December 7, 2019

Angelee Deodhar, Teresinka Pereira, Ajśa Zahirović, Rex Sexton and Rochelle, a sneaky bear, Sir Chris Faiers, Judith Partin-Nielsen, Cindy Rosmus, and, Juanita Torrence-Thompson...




Haiga! Poem by
ayaz daryl nielsen, artist,
Angelee Deodhar...

assistant editor
Tama, mewing,
"You are loved
and remembered
by all,
Angelee"...


          poets Teresinka Pereira, Ottawa Hills, Ohio,
            and Ajśa Zahirović, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Sarajevo... 




poet Teresinka Pereira...             poet Ajśa Zahirović...

        PASSION                          You, in a far-away country!
                                           Stop by.
Time                                     The sky has many hues.
can't ever bend me down.
I have a panoramic tongue,           Ti u dalekoj zemlji!
hungry eyes                              Navrati,
and invisible feet:                       nebo je visêbojno.
I am in love! 

PAIXÁO                                   A good word uttered -
Nem o tempo                            It is life
pode impedir-me!                      In the eternal vessels.      
Tempo uma língua panorâmica,      
olhos famintos                          Lijepo rečena riječ
e pés invisíveis:                         život
estou apaixonada!                      u vječnim posudama.


             'Desert Flower', by Rex Sexton (for Rochelle)...
                               assistant editor Frosty, firmly stating,
                                        "We won't ever forget you, Rex..."                                            

 
                  (snuck in by bear)          
          a poem by ayaz daryl nielsen... 

               The Heart Dance 

               Open your heart
                  inside may be a sigh,
                  a stone, a river,
                  a golden throne
                  or a sliver of ice
               Come, open your heart!
               Open your heart
                  inside may be a stumble,
                  a dance, grandmother’s lost
                  eyelash, or even
                  empty yearning
               Come, open your heart!
               Open your heart
                  inside, a drinking song,
                  an immortal’s kiss, or even
                  ink dark loneliness
               Come, open your heart!
               Come with your open heart
                  we’ll whirl and zumba
                  the dance of a found
                  eyelash, of an immortal’s
                  kiss, of an ice sliver
                  melting, melting, melting

                Come, heart of
                  all hearts

                Come, beloved,

                   and dance.



annoying neighbor cat, insisting, "if a bear can sneak
into this poetry post, so can a picture of me!"                    
                 

noble assistant editor Kitty Kali, stating:
"Mister Editor, this is what you get for being sneaky..."


ok, noble assistants, no more sneakiness
                    (without prior approval)



noble assistant editor Frosty, mewing,
       "poetry from a most favorite human
poet, and shaman, of Eel Pie Island Dharma fame        (a hippie memoir/haibun)
        Chris Faiers, Marmora, Ontario!"...

    After cold night
    scraping burnt commune rice pot
    on the lawn for birds

                  Making camp
                  in a vacant lot
                  with outcast cats

  (Frosty:  Blessings and belly rubs, Sir Faiers!)

   Balding father            Talked all night        Through thin walls
   hippie son                 ashes at dawn           radio blaring
   in an ancient pub        girls asleep              "It's All Right Now"




from our beloved Judith Partin-Nielsen, Longmont, Colorado,
poem that appeared in Yellow Mama (ed., precious Cindy Rosmus)

          Poetry Everywhere                                                 


                                       for Courtney Love

          "I wrote poetry everywhere
           on the walls, on his shirt
           I wrote poetry everywhere"                            
           I couldn't stop                                       
           at night on the sheets in our bed
           in my sleep in my dreams
           I wrote poetry everywhere
           on my face the war paint
           (stirring up all kinds of trouble)
           I wrote poetry on the table cloth
           in Jax's Fish House
           a haiku surrounded by wine
           glasses, white napkins, red brick
           walls, green fish - tiny dots of
           blue light hanging from the
           ceiling - Nick Forrester eating sushi
           at the next table
           I wrote poetry everywhere
           I wrote poetry in books
           that didn't belong to me, past due,
           checked in, checked out,
           on posters at the coffee
           house, poetry notes on golden
           peeling bathroom mirrors
           surprise tanka on the
           toilet seat
           I wrote poetry everywhere
           I wrote poetry on the stairs
           seven steps to the landing
           turn left.  Six more to your room.
           Listening to the blues, Muddy Waters
           wailing, sitting on the floor
           eating dates, drinking white wine.
           I wrote poetry everywhere.
           You made a pass, I didn't notice
           better to keep writing poetry  
           everywhere
           Flat on my face, flat on my
           ass, flat on my back
           just keep writing

           poetry everywhere




       ...noble assistant editor Kitty Kali:
                                      "Mister Editor, you sneaked again..."



                  poet Juanita Torrence-Thompson,
                                            Bayside, New York...
                                             
                                                
                Fallen leaves
                Hug emerald grass                        
                Like a babe grasping a bottle            
                                              
                                             Soft winds transform
                                             Scarlet and golds                   
                                             Into dancing spirals of joy         
                                             Whispering and swishing
                                             To syncopated beats
