29.

looking for the Buddha

in little, out of the way corners

looking for peace

in dark, unseen places

looking for solitude

in lonely, forgotten spaces

shutting out the everyday hubbub

behind closed eyes

behind closed doors

finding the little Buddha

the thousand and one small Buddhas

in the privacy of one's own thoughts

in the tranquility of one's own private spaces
