Cooler with showers and bits of mist around
we are in a beyond the gates retreat
a semi-monastic experiment
the Dharma Shop
with tools and a bell
housing herders and oxen
going in and out of the world as it is
and in and out of the zendo as it is
Buddhas and Bodisattvas abound
all in the polishing sack
just like inside the gates
