Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

A bit of melancholy just before the end of the year. I like it so much, even though I'm basically a cheerful person :-) . Just as I like to say Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hide. Mostly the less positive events and news evoke emotions in us. It will sound like a cliché, but as a person gets older, he has already experienced more different events and therefore often thinks about the situation in the world, disputes, wars, etc. And although we are one planet in the Universe, one blue ball, one animal species, so animals often treat each other better than humans. But that's just the way it is, I can only state it. End of philosophizing, have a wonderful new year everyone, as you wish. We will "hear" each other again next year. I look forward to .

Wanted to write a song about what it's like being a nurse in the hospital. When I was very young, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother was a nurse, and I loved how much she cared for her patients. She worked in the ER mostly, and I thought I would love the ER.
I soon found out, it's not as glorious as I had imagined. It was difficult, seeing people die, or severely hurt or sick. I went over to psych nursing very early on, it was just more my style, and not as much death. 
Recently I moved, and had to switch from psych to a psych/med surg floor. I met a lot of great people throughout my career, but I can't help but feel this is where I've grown the most, and I've met the most amazing people. I know it won't last, unfortunately there is high turn around in the medical field, and people come and go constantly. I won't ever forget all the great people I've met along the way, especially the ones on 3 central. I hope you enjoy the song!

Lyrics:
I used to only care about myself
Didn’t think about no one else
Until I realized we’re all the same
We’re all just humans given a name

I always thought I would be something
Until rock bottom when I felt nothing
But something changed within me
It was the nights I spent on 3c 

When I helped, someone else
Just that look in their eyes
Being there for someone’s health
These feelings that used to hide

Taking hold Of my soul
Taking me On a journey
Everything’s A mystery
Spending my nights On 3c

I used to cry on those nights
Someone would lose their life
Everything just seemed to freeze
All the families begging please

Why’d I think there was glory
Within every nurse’s story
But the truth I soon realized
Suffering before my very eyes

When I helped, someone else
Just that look in their eyes
Being there for someone’s health
These feelings that used to hide

Taking hold Of my soul
Taking me On a journey
Everything’s A mystery
Spending my nights On 3c

In Search Of A Name
