an internal alarm clock is my cawing rooster
before dawn, it wakes me from my restful slumber
ambling out of a black cave, my bare feet a pitter patter
on a honey-colored wood floor
a city skyline still vast asleep and i sit in the still darkness
giving gratitude, offering prayer
honoring my true self
sat nam.
a teapot is filled with fresh ginger and squeezed orange
as the amber hues of sunrise begin to illuminate an eastern horizon
words sit, awaiting the moment to be typed out
on this here computer screen
minutes tick by, and the little italy mercato beckons my
wandering feet.
sat nam
pulling up an iron chair because the teagan taylow trio is just too good
to be listened to from anywhere else but right down in front
b strolls by, and she pulls up a seat. together,
we rest in comfort and in companionship.
she is a shoulder to lean on when i need help
and i savor her advice.
he drives me back to the hive, after our working through
some recent turbulence.
it's all in a day's life.
eighty five people are gathered in my humble hOMe,
organizing clothes and eagerly awaiting marriage nuptials -
a first experience for this sacred container.
a dash for the red trolley, i meander my way toward city heights
and a cooperative home where honeycomb is boiled back down
to its waxy essence on an open flamed hearth. i touch in
and know.
sat nam.
hoping a ride back down the 94, i prepare for the arrival of a
powerful sisterhood. a meal of stone soup with root vegetables, cous cous
and edamame and black beans and brownies, we dive in to a collective
task at hand. throwing out the past, we start fresh. it's 2012 and there
are no limits as to what we can co-create.
i tap in and feel.
breathing into this now, i allow
that i am no longer who i once was.
i trust.
sat nam.
it's all in a day's life.
we continue to head west. dancing in the sand of an ocean beach
under a waxing full moon before heading in to a local establishment
where the grooviest session unfolds
and we dance like no one is watching.
LIVING THIS DAY AS IF IT WERE OUR LAST,
It's all in a day's life.
