How Can You Be A Poet And Not Be A Naked Personne?

I mean, poets are not in the business 
of holding back, right?  Who knows
where they got that from? How come
humans are so unstoppably creative?
Are they looking for that, are they finding
that in our genes? They can’t, because
a flower is an example of creativity that
comes from a plant. 

Which is why Buddha gave his lineage
to the disciple that smiled when he held
up a flower.

Eshin Nishimura, the Sensei that taught me meditate at Carleton in
1970.....his teacher, I believe, was Reverened Shubiyama,
who wrote a book "A Flower Does not Talk."
