Haiku Of The Week;
some DL readers ask me, "How the hell do you keep up the Originality and
energy of DL everyday?" feeble ilg replies, "By spending long hours alone,
at the sacrifice of many Worldly Things, to just ride my breath and allow my
beautiful mind (and ALL minds ARE beautiful!!!) to relax into its own Nature."

our DL Sangha Haiku Poem of the Week Award goes to the ever persevering...
Coach Ilg!...
Yeah!
(dude, you guys gotta SUBMIT MORE!!!)
okay, i admit,
i was
inspired by Student C of Haku Clan!
(Student C: i wanna see those re-worked poems!)
Haiku is simple,
yet the simplest things
requires the highest art...
just ask Lance Armstrong; any fucking body can ride a bike...
yet...
can you ride a bike like THAT!?
anybody can pick up a brush and paint, yet:
"It took me a lifetime to paint like a child."
- Picasso
love,
coach ilg
