Present
In the turning
the churning
of life today
can I widen my schedule
widen my eyes
widen my heart
and be
present
truly present
Love longs
to awaken
stir
inspire
unmask
embrace
something in this moment
Can I quiet my mind
pause my compulsions
silence my critic
muster my courage
open my heart
and be
present
No posturing
no proving
no rationalizing
no reacting
default-less
present
pliable
radiant
a sip of hot chai
along frigid trails
Love’s here
now
open
present
am I?
Very nice……….
