In the stillness, in the Spring, by the snow, that has yet to go, in the quiet sitting, accepting what life is permitting, looking out at valleys rolling green, silent and serene, watching a deer bound up a ridgetop, almost making my heart stop, high peaked mountains in the distance, speak to me with insistence, saying breathe it in, join in, ride the earth’s spin, forget your clock, lean back against a rock, feel the steadiness in the trees, enjoy the air in the breeze
