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?​

This is an awesome "stream of consciousness" piece! :great:


It's got it all: natural and virtual "ancedotes" for one's mind and body yearning to relax....It's a lyrical "Waiting To Exhale."

Well done. :terrific:

For me, I'll take a good book, a glass of tea, swinging in a hammock under broad-limbed, leafy trees on a just-right breezy, sunny day.
