Cloisterwood

Cloisterwood is a hermitage for the mind. A place to go when there is no place to go. A place where only you have discovered the Way. Designed to share thoughts and images among those who seek peace, quiet and contemplation.

Zazen

In the still night by the vacant window,

Wrapped in monk’s robe I sit in meditation,

Navel and nostrils lined up straight,

Ears paired to the slope of shoulders.

Window whitens,The moon comes up;

Rain’s stopped, But drops go on dripping.

Wonderful! The mood of this moment;

Distant, vast.
