Losar 2019 Poem by Jacqueline Gens & Illustration by Ingmar Pema Dechen



My darling Earth Pig
I bow to your 
beneficent bounty
Amid toils of duty and servitude
To further your brood 
In all that need manifest 
As we sow the seed of generosity
Its fecund curve of elegant hoof
And flow of nurturance
Sustains multitudes
Lady of the Spheres your grunt 
nuzzles to earth amid lofty intents
as you burrow deep your cosmic purpose
none other than sublime awakening
from ignorance at every moment

Poem by Jacqueline Gens in collaboration with visionary artist Ingmar Pema Dechen, 2019
