THE ECOLOGY STUDENT
Always eats alone And keeps her own company
Her head in a book Even in the dining hall
Their whispered nickname “The Academia Nut”
Oh yes, she’s heard it But you don’t let on of course
Dignified silence A study in deepest blue
Mindless cruelty She fingers her hidden scars
Stained with history Like the poor planet itself

SURVIVORS
Unwelcome truths Accepting and yet rejecting At the very same time Quite a trick, I know But we manage it somehow And even smile sometimes too

“You should stop words and letters, and learn to withdraw and reflect on yourself. When you do so, your body and mind will naturally fall away, and your original Buddha nature will appear.” – Dogen.
