Excerpt
Excerpt: This poem was written in the Trinity Alps of Northern California at Rigdzin Ling, the main center of Tibetan Lama Chagdud Tulku. It was my second time there. I had the yurt, a canvas covered, circular structure secluded in a meadow, all to myself. At night the moon cast spectacular beams through the plexiglass skylight, spiralling them around the room. On moonless nights the stars were brighter than I'd ever seen. Night was my favorite time. I sat at a makeshift desk, basking in the meager warmth of a little woodstove, brewing tea, reading texts, and writing by light of a kerosene lamp.
