Stillness And Departure

  A  L  O  H  A
from 
Honolulu
When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth. Rumi





Always wear a smile. The gift of life will then be yours to give. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov






I must have been listening
to Morning Wild Bird Song
on my phone. Because
when I got in the car
it began in there. It was
amusing and unexpected,
but quickly became quite lovely.
I drove all the way
listening to the birds instead of music!
Later, I returned home with the birds.
My car had became a
Summer morning full of peace.
Traffic did not annoy me.

Today I was on Day 2
with the wild morning birds.

I think my blood pressure
has gone down!



Reactions
come from the mind, responses
come from the heart. Joseph Meyering Sr

Cats teach stillness; 
birds are all departure.
Cat listens to the bird
the bird listens to the sky.

One lives by patience, 
the other by flight.
Between them: the whole 
lesson of desire.

Birds carry 
the sky’s old language.
The cat listens to silence 
the way hunger
 imbibes food's smell.

The bird knows what 
the wind remembers.
They seem to vanish
so they can return 
as signs.

The cat teaches stillness 
as a form of knowing.
The bird teaches flight 
and all about
finding out.

Bird is a bright thought 
Heaven could not keep.
Kitty contemplates
then promptly falls asleep!
