990. daydreaming

a bird

in the morning light 

just sitting

*

soft and hard, 

lightweight and heavy—

iron and feathers 

After the rains, daydreaming in the cool morning light.

989. the shift

in the woods,

no need for a GPS—just 

take it step-by-step

In the movie, “The Shift,” Wayne Dyer talks about meaning in life and the spiritual path. Here’s something he said: Isn’t it interesting that you had everything you needed in the first nine months; why then is it not true for the next 90 years—because we interfere. Also: When ego (our fear and our need to be right) is no longer the driving force in your life, things appear to fall into place.

 

988. rain falls

falling down

one on top of another

and piling up

*

rain on rain,

one drop on top of another—

top-top-top-top…

Weather report:  Well, it rained again yesterday. Here’s a picture—it isn’t exactly pretty. In the month of May, Philadelphia and the surrounding areas had one-quarter of an inch of rain. Now in the last seven days of June, we’ve had 10 times as much. And the drought watch continues. Strange.
