My Impulsive Feet

Rob Barke - Holme-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, England - 2/19/2022

I follow my impulsive feet wherever they might go

my body is a pine tree surrounded by the snow

sometimes I simply stand beside a flowing stream

sometimes I chase a drifting cloud past another peak

~ Poem by Hanshan 

Legendary figure honored as a Bodhisattva in Zen mythology

(fl. ninth century C.E., Chinese Tang Dynasty)

Rob captured this stormy scene earlier today near the village of Holme-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, England. Storms have been pummeling the U.K and parts of Europe, but as Rob notes, "Above the clouds the sun is always shining." Just beautiful!
