It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones as merely steps on the path and to proceed.
~ Ram Dass

This is stillness
I close my eyes.
I face the sun
And breathe
Deep.
Phoebe calls
Pine warbler trills
Cardinal song fills all other space.
Winter
Still drifts close to the ground.
Air will rise
Higher
As Earth rotates
And revolves
Reflecting the light
Of the sun
A little more closely
Each moment
Warming everything
A little more
Turning ever onwards
In the journey...
I close my eyes
I breathe deeply
I absorb
The light
Of the sun
On my skin.
I am alive.
With the Towhees song
Morning
Has
Risen.
This
Is
Stillness.

I am grateful today for a slow paced morning soaking in phoebe song and cold crisp air - seems winter is ready to paint her palate of transparency.
