In the other’s shoes
or even paws or talons
we expand our minds

She depends on crows
landing on high wires and leaves
for her dose of wild
--NEZen haiku 11-16-2017

The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.
--Frank Zappa

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."
--Marie Curie

The unknown grows much
scarier when corporate
media twists it
into vast homogeny
of us and them, black and white

NEZen Tanka 11/15/15

Moonlight is waxing
yesterday's dark falling back
as we move forward
knowing each cycle's brand new
even as pasts may repeat
