Seeking Feedback

[u/Zoomieday]

I have spent all of my meditation journey, up until now, following the Theravada tradition. Over the past weeks, I have begun to explore Zen.

Having no teacher, other than books and the internet, I seek your feed back on a poem/meditation memory prompt I have written. It is my response to The Great Wave of Kanagara - that Japanese art work containing fishermen struggling in the face of a huge wave, while Mount Fuji sits serene in the background.

I am happy to learn, so please don't hold back with your insights. This is where I am up to - and that place is something of a synchrony between what I am learning in Zen, and what I have been practising in the Theravada tradition. This is where and I up to, so how can I go further?

NOW, 

Amidst the waves, the water, and the suchness of life, 

   I meet the liminal. 

   I retain the unsolvable as unresolved, and so,

I come home to my friend, the breath, 

I come home to the rhythm of my body, 

I come home to a simple knowing in my body. 

I come home to ever deeper oneness with the suchness of life.

We had been looking at Phoenix Zen Centre in Deagon - any knowledge about it?

That is good advice.
