being

suddenly
remarkably

settled

inside

loving life
loving the birdsong

loving
luke
warm
lush
summer
morning

and last evening
just sitting
on a bench
in a park

feeling good
not needing
to go anywhere
to do anything

being in
beingness

newfound ease
accepting what is
exciting opportunities
horrendous loss
… my own shortcomings

somehow
trusting
life

I don’t know what shifted
how I arrived here
after a week of
ups and downs
of support and challenge

after an afternoon
with smoke alarm going off
with natural gas leak going on
in one home and another

I just
need to
be
here
where
I’m needed

my mandate
shifting
dramatically

my story-of-me
shifting
dramatically

returning again
and again
to the pure
simplicity
of just
being
