Jack, dear friend and brother, took on Japan
the way Trungpa took on the USA, became
a gringo high ranking chado teacher in
xenophobic Japan, helped build meditation
centers for our teacher like me, taught
carpentry to children in Vermont.
Oh, Jack, dear Jack, a Jack of a few trades,
master of his mind, his goodness obvious
to everyone, loved by his students and friends,
accomplished what he set out to do in a world
full of indifference, an example that will echo
down time.
