Nervous
Only lasted until my third time driving around the block
Dharma Meeting
Tibetin Buddhist
Lotus Light
Right up the street this whole time
Amazed
It can be new anywhere you are
This or that country
Spaces in the corners of the world
One corner you’ve lived twenty years
Give or take
Your soul is the world
I am the world
My app told me to believe in myself
Couple of them
I took that to heart
On a corner this lovely old house
Inside the hearts and minds live in the fixtures
Hanging plants
Waterfall sounds
Creaking wood floors
Library for the community
Small Kitchen
Mandala ceremony starts today
I’m in
Monthly activities
Different kinds of yoga
Meditations
Teas
Conversations regarding how to be out here
All of my inner characters are in one car
For this
Together we are hopeful
Closing my eyes
I saw long blades of grass
Dark skies behind
It was windy
I centered there through mid back pain
Held still and breathed into the distractions
Will I meet someone special there
No time for it
For awhile
Nice people there
I read the practice of Dharma to the group
Principles to live by in this journey
Not unfamiliar
Many moments in my life of flirting with spiritual literacy
Some longer periods than others
Letting go
Just existing
Dedicated
I drove by the street for this place a million times
My sons can paint there
We can belong there
As a home away from it all when it seems impossible
When it feels sensational
One step a little bit each day
We took steps yesterday
Bossa
Frozen head state park
Wide open trails
Sun waving through the canopy
Took a moment by the stream
Accepted the stillness
What was offered
Turned down the noise of previous trauma
Yelling it wasn’t enough
There I could just be without limitations
Zero push from anything
We hiked up to the last waterfall
Rock walls placing formations
Heard sounds a few moments up
Practiced balance
This leg
That leg
Said a thank you to whatever is listening
And I will continue to do that
Smallest of moments
Caterpillar climbing up my studio wall
Hello pal
Lets write a special one
Best
