Thanks

 

wild Orcas turk ey

thanks to this now
and this next one too

the now
so like the best parent
could ever be

always there for you

you don't need to do anything to deserve it

it's always yours

no one can take it away

no waiting

no stress

the now, like awareness
is always available

in every moment

and is now
awareness

or does awareness light
up the now

and without words
and a need for a mental scheme

does it mattter

thanks
this present moment

and thanks
for all the moments
this last year
to which we were present

and all the trees birds leaves snails animals
people sunsets music movies books laughter
good food
blah blah

life is good
as good as we let it be
when we stop trying to bully
it into shape

and bully for us
when we try and fail

and then
sometimes
we put the seed in the ground,
mindfully perhaps,
and water the seed,
mindfully perhaps,
and watch the seed grow to fullness,
over many days,
each day
like each now,
different

and then
each day being exactly itself
it is finally the big plant with the beautiful
flower
or the yummy food
and we can pick and eat and savor
that food,
just as today we might savor
some food,

mindfully perhaps
