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?
Particularly love the last two stanzas.
Beautiful
