The True Thing

The true thing

present in this green and golden

afternoon, with events suspended

while time ripens

and firs sing wind songs

while little birds converse

The true thing,

older than all the human stories,

newer than anything we’ve thought before,

is Life’s unfurling of itself

in multiple dimensions,

in ever awe-inducing harmony

for all of us to be.
