Contemplation

An evening

 

After a full day of work

Seeing patients

An hour on the elliptical

Creating halibut over salad

Drinking a nice Zin 

Opening the computer

Scanning email

Then opening a blank Word page

What might arrive?

The mind feels quiet

The wind chimes

Singing a Japanese tune

Indicating the windy weather

Tonight is not a movie night

Yet I sit on the futon

With a large black screen

I could create that power point talk for next week

But I won’t

Tonight contemplation arises

I watch desire arise

Clouds come

Clouds go

Desire arises

Desire goes

A smile arises

The Cosmos

Has been generous to me

When 

I do not 

ask…

Namaste
