Mike's Gems

2/4/2017

Here is a new "Mike's Gems" from our premiere poet, Michael Erdelen!

This spot where you sit is your own spot.
It is on this very spot and in this very moment
that you can become enlightened.
You don't have to sit beneath a special tree
in a distant land. 


---Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh  is a 90 year old buddist monk and a world peace
activist from Viet Nam.

Be kind to one another.

Just enough for a taste of this gourmet goody; powerful, spice varieties, description whets ones appetite for more. Well written, Mike!
