Soshin |
The snow begins across the mountains |
Covers the rice fields |
Down below a woman awakens |
Her breath is frozen in the early morning |
Out on the freezing streets |
With bell and bowl she goes |
People come to see the face |
People come to feel the light |
Of an Irish Girl |
Everything in the world is new |
Everybody I tell wants to know you |
Soshin … Soshin … |
She washes noodles by the open window |
Wet and soft between her fingers |
The air of spring blows on her face |
And the moment is eternal |
Maura sits in the dark womb-like stillness |
She’s thinking 'How can I die or cease to be? |
I am eternal, I am Roshi!' |
Everything in the world is new |
Everybody I tell wants to know you |
Soshin … Soshin … |
She may not change a blade of grass |
Nor light the flame for souls to see |
But in this silent Easter morning |
She has found a friend in me |
An Irish girl |
