On a militant quest
Storm clouds in the West
Gather in ambush for the setting sun
But the sun is delayed
Watching children play
Unaware of the battle to come
The children go home
The sun all alone
Watches the sandcastles yield to the tide
Wending his weary way
At the close of day
Across the ocean where leviathan whales reside
As he descends
He must first defend
His title as king of the sky
Cumulus armies in battle
array, challenge the sun with a lightning display
Assailed from all sides, he calls his allies
The grey whales come
But only one
Has the courage to challenge their might
With a power of mind
Unknown to humankind
The grey whale rolls over, turning the day to night

Dear Almine,
thank you.
Mother she is to us all,
whether the tides are out or they are on their journey home.
Her widely open arms released the dove free,
to carry the message about the harmony.
Balanced she is on the both sides,
giving the wings to the dove to fly.
When the dove embodies the Earth and the Sky,
the Sun filles the Temple and the water rises up to the whale’s crown.
Zen says
