Seeking true north (with a nod to Ryokan)
By Sam Fischer (stanzas 1, 3, 5) and Bill Waters (stanzas 2, 4, 6)
my feet go on walking my mind goes on wandering and my feet go on walking the clouds above the grass below a ladybug tags along a friend looking for a ride last night’s inn so far behind . . . ahead an upland cabin waning day, settled smile on my face beaming down on me a Buddha moon . . . dreaming with eyes open
