"In The Mundane"

Lying on my back on the grass,

gazing at the canopy of trees.

Breezes gently sway this earthbound heavenscape.

The upper, leaf-laden branches in profile against the blue sky.

There is nothing to do but witness...

and breathe.

No agenda, no timeline, no to-do list,

no urgency, emergency, worry, fear, depression, rage,

no...none of that.

Just the upper, leaf-laden branches in profile against the blue sky.

Settling into the divinity of the mundane.

Then...a shift,

a subtle transmutation.

Eyes closing,

traveling inward, yet expanding simultaneously.

Flying into the vastness of the subatomic.

Conceptualizing, then inhabiting being in the moment;

In the now.

And again, in the now.

Again, now.

now...

Another shift.

Now...just light and patterns.

Immersed in a square-cut diamond of light,

sometimes yellow, sometimes white, sometimes orange.

I cease to exist,

dissolved within and without

this otherworldy thing.

In the now is time less.

now...

My eyes open.

focus.

I see the upper, leaf-laden branches in profile against the blue sky.
