_Providing-For_
Today I may choose a leaf and a smooth stone to be among the objects
which will go with me when we visit water,
Just the perfect number that can easily be carried
curled in one arm and my free hand.
The reason for coming had not been forgotten,
what an odd way to make tea.
There are things to ready,direction noted,incense set out,
take care when you arrange the seats, one doubt,
the guests will vanish,the favored moment
when the fog rises reaching for the morning sun wasted.
You can forget the little picture that would only fade
once captured by the mind.
We are playing. The leaves float away,
the stones color renewed,
we are face to face and the water is pleased.
