SA: I like what your suggesting! It does seem that
some people here are having difficulty in reaching
beyond samsara. To see even a glimmer of dharmakaya

SA: A wonderful meditation!
Thanks!
woods stickly with branches reaching into the blue,
flurries come and go and white patches crisp the
earth,
the dreaming rides the contours of the cherry bark,
the colors of deepened red leaves with brown thoughts,
the blue mind, the brown-white grounding where -
the birds fly across zipping as my
eyes and heart.
