Balance Tree across the street from bus stop at
Phyllis Ave. & El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA

The Balance Tree I saw her standing there across the street from me— beautiful Balance Tree. Just missed my bus and have to wait for the next— half an hour on the bench but my mind is not mad there's calm across the street— peaceful Balance Tree. Roots tied firmly to earth, sap soaring to heaven— bountiful Balance Tree. Tree of Knowledge & Life ever ancient and new— delightful Balance Tree. Uncluttered and simple teaching me mindfulness— wonderful Balance Tree. Branches spread like wings Prajna and Karuna— blissful Balance Tree. Symmetric left & right Tao circle yin & yang— O soulful Balance Tree. I see her dancing here inside my mind and heart— O joyful Balance Tree. — Peter Y. Chou     Mountain View, 3-4-2013
