New Jersey, where Rinpoche says his prayers each day
A visit to Dr. Shepps
who assumes his responsibilities most seriously
as eyes are most important!
I enjoy my room,
my view
and to the right
then venture out
to photograph the neighborhood
the houses smile
they stretch
and grin
and even wink at times
Rinpoche visits ET, Nancy, and Family
Ling and Jimmy, Edward and his daughter
we don’t forget the fish
Blessings of recently returned
I visit Alexander
who turns 64
Gibson’s, the beach we’ve known since childhood
and then farewell
More friends to see… Nuno
and Emilio
And Jeffrey Kay to whom I was sent by Mr. Penn
Home is now the garden state
with its own beaches
and birds to feed
Then France for a quick stop
Rinpoche rests
in the company of the Enlightened One
Then finally back to India
Land of Lord Brahma
and other holy beings
And home
where I unpack
and settle in
as monks prepare for their exams
