rose crystal mala

rose crystal mala

one hundred eight
pre-revolutionary China
hand-blown crystal beads

a string of rose light
blessed by lamas

tiny bubbles of
   space and time
move through glass
cool beads clink
      breathe
   warm in fingers:

      om mani paymay hum
         om mani paymay hum
            om mani paymay hum

sometimes simply
      held– 

no chant of mani's
no hum's or om's
just sit with the beads in

            black night
         their weight
      in still hands

and move into
  
      irreducible crystal
         silence

What’s New…

White Owl Web is in the process of re-designing the entire site. Big job! This is going to take a while, folks, and it will have to be done in stages. Thank goodness for CSS and Dreamweaver! Looks like a lot of nights of midnight oil here. White Owl Web hopes you will enjoy the new design, organization, and updates. This site has been gently nudging the Owl for a very long time to give it some serious attention. The time has come!
