The World Is My Guru

Good evening from WA💙 A recent poem to share...

the house just burned down the who, the why, the where, the when

gone

what's left? a million dancing particles of ash reflecting starlight

no earth, no tether or anchor

no reference point

utterly alone supported by Every Thing

the beloved raft abandoned surprise and dismay in our parting we've travelled for such long times

all is witnessed from a distance yet so so close one, inseparable, cheek to jowl, heart to heart intrinsically enmeshed and vivid

there is no future

let us sit together now and talk about the weather drink some tea, nibble some biscuits, maybe share a joke

the afternoon sun feels warm on our face scent of spring in the air robin sings as she goes about her business weight of our body relaxed into the chair simply alive

completely ordinary and miraculous💌
