Meet Katherine and her Black Dragon
Katherine Munro and her famous Black Dragon, well known to many of you.
Katherine painted him in 1994 when she came to newly born Dorje Denma Ling to take Levels 3- 5. Great Eastern Sun office building was just a barn at that time and neither main shrine room, Pavilion nor Gyatso existed yet.
Today, 22 years later, she takes care of Dorje Denma Ling program planning and also of the Dragon. Here is her poem making him immortal in the world of words.
Black Dragon
Gun metal scales
Pass in front of mind’s eye too close to see
Empty essence of all colors
Untameable being of fathomless space
Your rumble inspires blissful fear
You are the punk rockers dream
There is no “thing” other
You are the underground scene
You are the bottom of our hearts
Ungraspable quicksand
You are the beat poet
You are heavy metal
You are the ultimate rebel
You are the revolution
The glint in your eye is the crack in the egg
You are on the tips of our tongues
You are the whistle blower
Stanger than fiction
Crash through our comfort zone
Break down the wall
Swallow our clouds of ghostly confusion
Burn down the house of cards.
Let us dance and play with you in the space beyond meeting, staying and parting.
Katherine
