THE SANCTUARY OF NOWNESS That Ever Awaits Me Within “The present, it turns out is a timeless place. There is only it. Nothing to regret, nothing to forebode— Just you, a bird and the endless now.” —Chloe Hope Sitting in the high seat of our Blue tractor— still dew wet this Morning, but eager to awaken With a deep throaty rumble When I turn the key to warm it up To prepare for the full day’s work That lies ahead of us, I also awaken and Gently come into this present moment. Like a camera being focused My heart, mind and spirit suddenly Come into peaceful harmonious alignment And start singing love songs to the universe. Only in this shimmering nowness am I Able to see the true beauty of these Green fields and stands of trees And the grace filled blessings flowing So abundantly all around me— I realize I am not really alive Unless I am in this higher state of Consciousness which is ever here for me Whenever I return to simply being here Now, in this glittering, ever expanding Present moment of sweet sanctuary where I long, need and want to always be.

A BEE’S BLESSING A bee just landed On my thumb, Very weary, Breathing deeply, Resting in safety As I sang “Om Mani Paydmeh Hung” As a blessing On us both, Two travelers meeting For a few moments Of golden sunlight. February 11, 2024 Still Mountain Retreat
