at one in prayer (tan renga)

the moment two bubbles
are united, they both vanish,
a lotus blooms
© Murakami Kijo

at one with the light
darkness fades

I found our host’s hokku very inspiring:

praying hands
seeking the wisdom of the Lord
the cry of an eagle
© Chèvrefeuille, your host.

chanting the name of the Lord
in quest of enlightenment
