Mindful Mindset

1/ Here: Into the Reality

You see, here’s the leaf dyed with the full 

Spectrum of autumn; here’s the dewdrop

Containing all the dreams made on the 

Darkest corner of last night; here’s the 

Light pole in the forest where gods land

From another higher world; here’s the swirl 

You can dance with to release all your 

Stresses against the Virus. Here you are in 

Deed as in need embracing 

The most 

Mindful moment, when you can readily 

Measure your feel with each breath, but do 

Not think about time, which is nothing but 

A pure human invention. Just point every 

Synapse of yours to this locale. Here is now 

3/ Now: The Art of Living 

    With my third eye, I glaze into

The present moment, & there I find it

Full of pixels, each of which is

Unfurling slowly like a koru into 

A whole new brave world that I  

Can spend days, even months watching 

As if from 

           A magic kaleidoscope
