Awake
In
the morning
Eyes
open
How
does my body feel?
Where
is my mind?
My
senses awaken
Do
they smell, taste, feel, see and hear
All
the life that is around me
In
the vastness of space as I come alive
On
my tiny dot on earth
Sometimes
a great big event
Jolts
me awake
Like
a death, a birth, a sickness
At
times it is more subtle
Other times
sublime
Wakefulness
comes when I relax
When
I remember to breathe
And
feel and participate in all the life around me
Emptiness
brings the fullness
Once
I empty out the contents cluttering my mind
Thoughts
drift away
My
body relaxes and my achiness subsides
It
seems like a miracle has taken place
A
common every day miracle
Only
through the emptying
Can
the richness
The
utter fullness of my world
Enter
me and fill me up
Inspire
me and hold my attention
I
smell life
The
inspiration is always happening
There’s
a stream trickling on day after day
An
apple tree ripening from seed to sapling to budding tree to fruitful harvest
Suddenly
this grasshopper alights on my hand as I sit in this garden
Resting
easily
Trusting
the peace
The
undisturbed body of being
