… the sound of crickets chirping on calm summer nights…
Being in the pose and staying long enough for it to unfold
Listening to the conversations in the body
A greater stretch is called forth
and one has a choice of either:
escaping the discomfort and leaving dense matter unconscious
or, one can stay with it and create an opening
Waiting as mind recognizes itself in body, and body in the mind.

Steam from the coffee
Permeated our nostrils
An oboe carried a raw melody
in through the open window -
Lace curtains waved in an afternoon breeze
Drawing attention away
From paintings dotting shadowed walls
to an unfocused point
suspended somewhere in the air
The perfect scene of a film,
My cousin and I agreed.
Thanks again
