Brother  Raven Contemplating Tasting the Fruit of Desire

Brother Raven Contemplating Tasting the Fruits of Desire

Within every taste

The seed of knowledge lies

Reflecting

On the mirror

Of the Moon

Wisdom grows

In the heart

Of the awakening

Precious moments

Compassion

And love

Becoming the ground

Of all actions

Of the heart
