Offerings

offerings  

quiet 

home retreat   
feeding ourselves
empty calendar
deep-hearted friends

steady rain 
welcome backdrop
despite the downpour
birds busy at feeders 

two hawks appear
we pull out bird guides    
not red-tailed,
red-shouldered—
Sibley’s decides

they screech and pose,
one a bare apple branch
the other atop a post
even at rest 
their power
presence shines

next meditation:
physical objects arise in space
in what does space arise?

events arise in time
in what does time arise?
