693. the fly & I


just sitting
palm in palm and thumb to thumb
a fly
*
 a fly—
on my knee, on my arm, my shoulder
breath by breath




Yesterday I took my car for an oil change and annual inspection. It took a long time—more than four hours—because  it needed work and then they were waiting for three new windshield wipers to be delivered. I waited outside in the shade in cool breezes then decided to meditate to pass the time. A fly kept me company. 

(This isn’t a picture of the fly or my car, it’s totally unrelated—i just like it!)
