What do I want
nothing
to be myself today is enough
a spring afternoon
my doggo is napping in the sun
I'm sleepy too
and just let go
how lovely
--
There is an owl in the park across the street
I never see her
but her soft hoots at sunrise
are as warm as a mother holding her newborn child
sometimes the world is perfect
--
The summer heat in the Sacramento Valley
a dead jackrabbit rots on County Road 98
stinking in the afternoon sun
it has even less use for civilization
than I do
--
That I might find the strength to forego being clever in favor of being kind and that I might learn to silence myself from saying those things which help no one
--
Like the sky at dawn, silent and vast, let my being merge in the timeless immensity of being alive. I am the universe, the universe is me.

It's easy to make someone feel special. Ask open-ended questions and listen with genuine interest. Attention is the expression of love.

The one we love is everywhere. By wakefully inhabiting our longing for the beloved, we are carried into the arms of love itself.

If you enjoy this blog, and I hope that you do, please consider making a donation through the BUY ME A COFFEE button below. (Not every time you come here, just maybe once in awhile.) It's done safely online, and just takes a moment. I could use the supplement since my mobility issues no longer allow me to work. Thanks!
