Morning 12/12/17 / 35th Anniversary

This moment is the gift.

Born into this life
Present in this moment
Incarnate

To be aware is to be aware
of the vast interconnectedness
of all of us

Is each day a past life?

I am the rain
I am the river
I am the lake
I am the ocean

Along the wave
Riding from sea to shore
I breathe
I exist
I am
To be
I am
To be

On the Morning of Year Thirty-Three

The music plays beneath the quietness of a still morning
In the room next to mine
                                        my niece sleeps

I listen for the sounds of a mewling kitten

                                                                  knowing she will wake-

being mindful of such things


Until then

                I fill the page


                                      until it has eaten it's share


until

         I have nothing left

to feed it
