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
