    Definitions of tangible on the Web:



    I sway to the left
    then back to the right
    settle in between and become one piece

    That really speaks to the experience of becoming concentrated during Zazen/meditation.

    Thanks for this.

    Jordan,
    For me its more like this

    bob and weave to my left
    parry and step to right
    Bam, right down the middle

    When I awake, I realize I am in different place than I had thought.

    Great poem!
    Although when you sit during Sea State 5 you will be doing much more swaying back forward and left and right!

    I think sea state 5 is just good sleeping conditions.
