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?
I love that you included the detail about pulling out the Sibley’s guide for the hawks, Didi. It makes the whole rainy afternoon feel so warm and real.
Particularly love the last two stanzas.
I'm thrilled that you liked those stanzas. I was afraid they would put people off.
Beautiful
Thank you!
From the factual to the mystic. A hawk. A human.
