A Monk Sips Morning Tea
A monk sips morning tea,
it's quiet,
the chrysanthemum's flowering.
Translated by Robert Hass

A Monk Sips Morning Tea - Poem by Matsuo Basho.) **Tea. Flowers. Quietude. What a moment; a great place to be.
I love this Basho's hokku.. and it always recalls to my memory Saigyo’s waka poetry..
una bella immagine di serenità zen.. a beautiful picture of (zen) serenity..
