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
