#Poet Nanao Sakaki was born 100 years ago. As a teenager, he saw the plane that dropped the A-bomb on #Nagasaki on his radar screen and became a life-long peace activist.
A #Zen Buddhist, he befriended #BeatGeneration poets like Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg. I once took a pee with Nanao, Ginsberg, and Snyder under a full moon thinking of Lew Welch's line, "So it's all come to this."
His poem "Break the Mirror" is excellent advice regarding the ego for the new year.
