SO WhAt MAMA

We marched to Sonomama Like ants to a picnic.

Happiness outside Happiness inside Smiles aplenty Forest abundant

Three bells Three refuges Quiet outside Silence within?

Sifu's joyfilled teachings Story of bad vs benevolent wolf Who will win? The One you Feed. Hmm...In our unflinching urge for freedom It seems obvious But maybe not?

Tummies filled with Lucy's Love-infused offerings Our circle organically formed Space of gossip and reflections Hearts reached out And are received and embraced

'Where is it coming from?' Our Dharma Guide, Brian urged. 'Attachment or Love?'

No swimming in the inviting blue pool But enough-soaked With a deep day of retreating

Prepping and marinating for Rinpoche's gentle beheading It's a serious business This Pathless Path

All here in tropical Malaysia Arms open and ready To 'Selamat Datang' Our beloved family Soon soon in January.

We will never be ready So so happy to be so, As it is!
