Sitting Outside

8/19/2017

Captivated by nothing as I sit outside
disrupted by no one
ruminating on blinding flashes
of my own synapse junctions

Consistent nature
promissory of peace
unselfishly envelopes me
patiently awaiting my awakened silence

Ever so slowly my human dissipates
allowing raw intelligence to dance
mindlessly twirling swirling merging
seeking perfection of the silent concert

There it is
hidden in plain sight
overwhelmed by intellect
camouflaged perfectly by ego

So easily attained
when we allow surrender
so much to be gained from
Sitting Outside

What could be better??
What makes for deeper communication with nature and self than sitting outside?
Thank you!!!!

Thank you, Mom .. I hope you and Dad enjoy many, many outside sitting sessions as the California weather begins to cool off a bit. I love you.

Mahalo et Merci,
Your Son

Bonjour, Bill!

You have just described one of my favorite things to do: just sit outside quietly and observe the multitude of activities which are taking place right in front of and around me. It can be the fancy acrobatics of hummingbirds or the bumblebees gathering pollen from the blossoms of my basil plants which catch my attention. Thanks for your special poem today. As always, best wishes.

This time of the year there is no sitting outside in Phoenix! I was so lucky to be in NY for two weeks and was able to be outside lots, feel the thick grass under my feet, listen to the birds and best of all listen to my family laugh.

Oh yes .. grass underfoot is a fantastic sensation, especially when it is punctuated by birds and family. Life is Good, Karen, and I'm happy you are enjoying it and sharing it with me and others who stop by here. Thank You!

Mahalo et Merci,
Bill
