Late in the day, but

I still got my exercise in

and I did it with a grin.

                                                           JDG

I’ll seize this moment

 and sanctify it by doing nothing.

I’ll just be still and listen.

                                  JDG

Some busy days, but

I made time today to do

what I didn’t do some days before.

                                                          JDG

On this blue-black night,

with only a single star in sight,

 an unexpected peace descends.

                                                                      JDG

When at last the mind

grows silent, a different kind

of listening can begin –

 one not tuned to familiar loops

 of word-filled chattering.

~

 Slowly, softly, we begin to hear

the music

 of spacious consciousness.
