There are moments of wonder, joy, peace and fun in every day: a string of moments like pearls on a necklace. How many times are we never there for these moments because we are constantly pursuing some ego driven, clattering, cluttering, negatively biased and largely insubstantial storyline that robs us of today and makes us fear for an imagined tomorrow? Life lives itself. Trust it. Be there for it. Be there with it.
LUTE.
My lute set aside
on the little table
lazily I meditate
on cherished feelings
The reason I don't bother
to strum and pluck?
There's a breeze over the strings
and it plays itself
Po Chu-I
