zen and suffering part forest (already seated in the sanctuary)

not for
exercise, but
for reverence.
not for
killing, but
for acceptance.
not for
travel, but
for stillness.
not for
industry, but
for quiet.

holiness moves
through, moves
through.

not surrounded,
but supported.
not dictated to,
but taught.
not certainty,
but joy.

ancestors take many
forms, take
every form.
subtle
to striking.
shrieking,
to holy
as a mouse.
