as if making love

at every point

be concerned with the present moment

beauty is felt in silence

become a disciple of existence

before enlightenment

beyond enlightenment

can the witness disappear

can we dance?

can we live life intimately

can we simply be?

can you feel the beauty of it?

well worn paving stones

when we measure

the willow and the birch

with every step

your smile
