Sitting directly behind me October dathun Karme Choling
Did we barely talk?
A little laughter
Dharma sisters since 1977
Years went by,
Seeing each other, and silence
In greetings, we never had anything to say to each other
But the greetings were always so friendly
And again years later, hello, with nothing to say
but warmth
and a knowing smile from you.
I will miss your simple quiet way
and not speaking with you together
