Silence arrives
as mountains
wrapped in rain
This week we present a haiku poem written by Kashyapi, a Zen woman who spent many years living as a lay forest monk, in deep retreat from the world; her poems are about silence, the research of inner peace, and human relationship with nature. Kashyapi’s works show that a journey of self-discovery can be described with just a few words at a time: and the result can be beautiful and intimate poetry.
