I don't even know where to begin
it was some light-bulb like moment
then it was gone...but the memory
the memory lingers...can't shake it
I could be folding laundry or washing dishes
and it comes up in a song I'm listening to
or the sales paper fliers I'm about to throw out
or even better is when I'm talking on the phone
to someone I don't know like a bill collector
who knows nothing about this moment
and it comes up...they're talking about it
an illuminating light around a picture
that I'm not even looking for...not looking
but somehow it finds its way in front of my face
thoughtful, I guess there's something to this
so now I'm paying attention to these moments
documenting my reaction and experience
walking often and everywhere as I do
communing with nature...a holy thing to me
what the observers think or say about my presence
not my business...my business is to be present
in every moment that I'm awake in human-form
be fully in that and recognize another chance
to be of full-grown brilliance...the new norm...
