OTHER WRITERS

Steve Sanfield is a great haiku master.

He lives in the country with Sarah,

his beautiful wife,

and he writes about the small things

which stand for all things.

Kyozan Joshu Roshi,

who has brought hundreds of monks

to a full awakening,

addresses the simultaneous

expansion and contraction

of the cosmos.

I go on and on

about a noble young woman

who unfastened her jeans

in the front seat of my jeep

and let me touch

the source of life

because I was so far from it.

I've got to tell you, friends,

I prefer my stuff to theirs.
