Attention

Attention

Attention!
Pay attention!
Be aware!
Each moment
varying in length
presents its
own miracle
to those
with eyes
to see.

Give your awareness
freely
to each, unfolding
moment.
Remind yourself,
"This too shall pass!"

Clutch nothing.
Float gently
in the deep middle
of flowing moment's
stream.

This is the way
that leads home
with the most joy.

My Birthday Poem

Today is the 64th
anniversary of my birth.

My Mother is no longer
on this plane ....
No doubt, I shall not
be here forever, myself.

So this is the day!
To live it fully
is all that we
have been given.

God danced the day
I was born.
She danced on your day
as well!
