Hay-Ku of the Day (Poor In Spirit)

One “Poor In Spirit”
Is Selfless in Nature and
Full of Everything.

One “Poor in Spirit”
Sees the Clear Aware Space One
Is as Being’s Ground.

[Rich Note: Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3).]

[rich Note: (Photo Caption) Grace 2 (2009); Amazing how experiencing this beautiful sunrise depends on the "essential clarity, transparency and emptiness (read selflessness)" of the eyes as organs of visual perception; Companion haiku: Accompanying.]

Wow. This post led me to read several of your "Hay-ku" works. Is there a collection of them somewhere?

Thanks for your kind responses! Although a bit of a "mind-bending" paradox from a relative perspective, "Poor in Spirit," seen from the "Perspectiveless Perspective" of Clear Aware Space, is Self-Evident.

Hi, Phil. Glad you like them. I did a book (Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses) several years ago and have a compilation of the blogging done over the last 2 1/2 years (not sure how far the Gather archives go, but myspace goes back to the beginning), both in PDF format, that I would be happy to share. Just send a request to rfhay333@aol.com and I'll send a copy of both as a return attachment. Just indicate "RE: Hay-Ku Request" in the subject line. Same goes for anyone else that might be interested.
