Look up
there is stillness all around you
if you just open your eyes

What is there
has been there

People are not enemies
We are each encompassed and held
so tightly by ourselves

our laughter and sadness
This world sucks us up
We get lost

But we are becoming more aware
In the blossoming fruit of the tree
are we
ready and bound to be ripe.

What life is this if we have
not learned to enjoy
all that we have
created?

In complete amazement
and action,
the will to grow deeper

in this stillness.

[relax here]
