SIMPLE PRESENCE
Although it seems that experience is complex
Thoughts, memories, concerns, feelings, worries, plans
There is also this moment of presence
Like a virgin screen
Peaceful, tranquil
We notice the hum of the refrigerator
The shining light of the sun onto the deck
The squirrel hopping on the branches
It is all one fabric
Thought, sound of birds in the distance
The tingling in the neck
A seamless ensemble
Imbued with the mystery of being
Can we look into this matter?
A looking that embraces it all
A willing availability
Not knowing
Simple presence.
