Coming To Your Senses

Did you stop today, and simply stare ... in Awe
Quiet those thoughts of past and future ... just Now
Hear the blood coursing, pulsing, throughout ... your Body
Reach down and pick your jaw up, off ... the Ground

Smile slowly, widely, unexpectedly ... and Radiantly
Feel your eyes welling-up, with tears ... of Joy
Muscles weaken, as you fall down, onto ...  your Knees
Remembering, Re-Member, not two, only ... One

Look more closely now and see, feel, hear ... the Flow
Arising and passing, only impermanence ... constant Change
Recognizing, Re-Cognize, there are ... no Boundaries
Seeing not, me, my, and mine, but effortless ... Inter-Being

The sun, the clouds, the rain, the ground ... cannot
The tree, the birds, the flowers, the fruit ... exist
The oceans, the mountains, one drop, one atom ... alone
Your ancestors, your mothers, your birth ... and death

In the beginning, in the end ... the Great Unknown
So today, in that profundity, what shall we do ... Now?
Slow-walking, in nature, just observe it ... All
Sitting, breathing, sensing, becoming ... Aware

... of your Sensational Life

Thanks for the visit Pat.

It prompted me to re-read the post, so I tweaked it some more.

Nothing's ever done. We are all works in progress. Thank goodness!
