cathedral pines

"Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken,
can we find peace and understanding
and connection with ourselves and the world.”
~Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life

presently walking through hardened snow
bone chill wind cuts through the trail
a uniform grey sky of steel
i keep trudging forward

letting my face feel

stopping only long enough
to take a few pictures, and listen
to the rhythmic crunch of the snow

the blessed peace, always served
in the finest sterling silver platter
the sky echoes my unspoken intention:
to be here without an agenda

to feast at the feet of these giant pines
to know a little less of the world
as nature allows me to become
in awe....this darkening afternoon

frozen air simply warmed
by my out breath--letting go
of all that no longer serves
to open my heart to this flow
