Laughter alchemizing leaden to light,
a child’s eyes lit up from inside a man
not yet shrouded in decorum.
Search for the Buddha all you will
while life continues in ordinaries;
teachers everywhere
from leaf mold to lovers.
Only the mind waxing preferential,
maroon robes over honest sweat,
the endless weaving of spiders;
brown hands untangling violaceous spines
twined ’round saffron squash blossoms
amidst fields of possibilities.
Thanks my friend. Today I needed to be reminded of the fields of possibilities…
I think most of us need daily reminders, no matter the source, of the existence of the potential for miraculous amidst the mundane. Cheers, VL!
Toil willingly
Undertaken no longer
Felt as burdensome
The attitude of people like this make all our burdens lighter!
