Mid morning stroll

Mid morning stroll 

Off the writing desk

Observe the water and sailing boats


Quiet street with flags on the poles

Cheery early summer blooms start to dance

Retiring spent spring blossoms used to be the show

Fog lifts as the morning goes

Seagulls freely flying in their circles

Hummingbirds by me fly fortissimo 

-KI

Walking in the unknown

Walk in the unknown

step by step 

not cautiously but proudly 

eyes are on me

return gaze with love


The power of the Earth and Sky

guiding me through each step

keeping me aligned 

the natural leading star within

undeniably continues to guide


Serving the ones far and near

continue to step forward 

gratitude filled heart

Growing and inching

As learning occurs 

 the progress is not seen nor felt 

Inching along

 with the smallest possible steps


Growing happens the same

  without snapshots

  the growth is un-noticeably gradual 

After a long crawl

 look back and be

surprised by the fruits on the tree

Ready for harvest 

Ready to enjoy 

-KI

Allow

Impermanence surrounding 

Impermanence world 

Let the fixed ideas be free 

Acceptance of

impermanence 

Choices present naturally 


The true self you stand

Allow,

the surrounding expends

-KI

Is this peace

Is this quietness, is this peace,

or is this loneliness, longing to connect?

Meaningful connections are everywhere

Sometimes we cannot see. Perhaps we are 

blinded by fear of being turned down or

rejected when we reach out. 

Then, how does this fear help us to connect?


Be well, Be kind to yourself,

-KI
