Place of Peace That Passed Understanding
The portion of mother’s lap
corresponding to that stretch
upon the Buddha (then
unknown to me) where he rests
his open hand, her
cool fingers.

I am posting the above for a Real Toads poetic “Words Matter” challenge by the wonderful Mama Zen to write about an image that recurs in my work in 25 words or less. I may have cheated a bit with the long title. The images I started out with: Buddha hands and the idea of a child resting her head on her mother’s lap, images that both are in a few of my poems. Here’s one specifically about Buddha Hands.
