  1. I am currently rereading The Dharma Bums and disappearing down a rabbit hole discovering the people that inspired it.

  2. in the blue night
    frost haze, the sky glows
    with the moon
    pine tree tops
    bend snow-blue, fade
    into sky, frost, starlight.
    the creak of boots.
    rabbit tracks, deer tracks,
    what do we know.

    (Gary Snyder, “Pine Tree Tops”, from Turtle Island, 1974)

  3. I just finished The Etiquette of Freedom by Gary Snyder. It was enjoyable and thought provoking. I don't always agree with Snyder's approach but if I had to pick a western Buddhist tradition I'd take his Redneck Buddhism over the generic "mindfulness" of today's corporate retreats any day. #GarySnyder #buddhism #religion

  4. All of us are apprenticed to the same teacher that the religious institutions originally worked with: reality.

  5. Newydd ddarganfod hwn, yn ei barsel, yn y sied, ond ddim y sied iawn! Ro'n i wedi dechrau poeni pan welais i’r neges “delivered on Wednesday” a ddim yn gallu ei weld yn y lle arferol.)

    Cyfrol swmpus (dros mil tudalen) sy’n casglu pob cerdd mae #GarySnyder wedi’u cyhoeddi, gan gynnwys tipyn sy heb eu casglu mewn llyfr o’r blaen. Edrych ymlaen at ail-ddarllen hen ffrindiau a chael blas ar y pethau “newydd”.

  6. A documentary called The practice of the wild.

    it is Gary Snyder in conversation with Jim Harrison.

    It is a solid watch if you like either of those writers.

  7. Smokey the Bear Sutra by #GarySnyder #Poetry #Environmentalism #Buddhism

    Once in the Jurassic about 150 million years ago, the Great Sun Buddha in this corner of the Infinite Void gave a Discourse to all the assembled elements and energies: to the standing beings, the walking beings, the flying beings, and the sitting beings — even grasses, to the number of thirteen billions, each one born from a seed, assembled there: a Discourse concerning Enlightenment on the planet Earth. (1/14)

  8. I'll be thinking about this essay by #GarySnyder on #meditation and #poetry, which is new to me, for a long time. Snyder's words always reach past where words can go. #Buddhism tricycle.org/magazine/just-one

  9. I was looking up some history about Alan Watts, who was famous for interpreting and popularizing Japanese, Chinese and Indian traditions of Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for a Western audience. In researching him I learned about Druid Heights, a bohemian artist community of sorts north of San Francisco, and that's how I found the video below.

  10. This is an excellent and long article about the last remaining members of the Beat Generation (as of the article's publication in 2017). We overly romanticize the Beats but I still get inspired them, imperfect as they were and probably because of their imperfections.

  11. A 1966 #documentary featuring #PhilipWhalen & #GarySnyder. Each gets some biography focus and then each reads their #poetry.

    Both were key members of the #BeatGeneration and both read their poetry at the Six Gallery in #SanFrancisco on October 7, 1955 when Allan Ginsberg first publicly read his seminal #poem Howl. Both, also, had/have strong #PNW & #Oregon ties, and both were #Buddhist, fyi.

  12. @alive @hannah
    #GarySnyder is one of my favorites but I think this is the first time I've seen this poem. Perfect. Thanks for sharing this!

  13. "To be truly free one must take on the basic conditions as they are—painful, impermanent, open, imperfect—and then be grateful for impermanence and the freedom it grants us."

    — Gary Snyder, The Etiquette of Freedom

  14. Dipping back into Kimmerer, Berger, Snyder and Haraway for a thing I'm writing.
    I find it weird when people DON'T see the world as alive, as a subject, not an object.
    Were you raised to see the world around you as alive, and important, or as something external over which you should impose your will?
