movements and songs –

It was a very delicious afternoon.
We were in the backyard
enjoying the sun.
our daughter was chasing
a monarch butterfly until she
completely gave up and
squatted on the sidewalk
to watch the ant carrying
a dead worm -
that was when the butterfly
Came flying and sat
on her shoulder–
My friend –
whatever
you dream about days
and nights
is your own essence
already kneaded into your
movements and  songs –
Whatever you are desperately
looking for has been seeking
to unite with you.
Just have the courage
to be done with looking.
Have the determination to look
Inside and see that
There is nothing short.

 This deep knowing fills
your heart with light .
