Can I just sit here?
In this open field?
Watching the ballet of butterflies
perform the joyous dance of non-attachment?
Can I just sit here?
In the cool green backwoods...
to learn the lessons
of unity and diversity?
The wisdom of an eco-system,
not from a university,
but from the canopy of trees?
Can I just sit here
At this blue lake?
To learn the its valuable secrets
of stillness and motion?
..the smooth surface,
disquising the vital undercurrent...
Can I just sit here
and vanish in all denial
of things electronic?
without appointments,
deadlines and expectations?
Without the pressure
of counting every **** minute?
..to align with a solitude
of my own design?
