Under the ghost of a Harvest Moon

Nighttime on Still Waters

Send us a text

A week of serious problems with our internet has meant that I have been unable to record the episode answering listeners’ questions. However, join us tonight to enjoy a special meeting under the ‘ghost’ of a harvest moon.

Journal entry:

29th September, Friday

“Early this morning,
We met the swan slipping
Light upon the night-time mists.

Behind us,
Cows stood knee deep
in milk- white meadows.

This is the stillness that falls
After the storm.”

Episode Information:

In this episode I read a section from Neil Young’s Harvest Moon published in 1992 by Big Deal Music.

I also read poems 137 and 42 by Ryokan from The Zen Fool Ryokan by Misao Kodama and Hikosaku Yanagishima published in 199 by Charles E Tuttle.

I also read a short passage from Eido Frances Carey’s biography Kakurenbo published 2013 in by Temple Ground Press.
