Today, While Sitting, Breathing, Waiting & Listening…
I heard whispered:

living portal
through which the
INEFFABLE
enters the
3rd

What I Heard Today While Sitting…Breathing…Waiting…Listening…
Stock photo: Waxing Gibbous Moon
the secret of health, wealth and longevity:
when
Life
brings an end to
a
job
a
relationship
a
dream
etc...
LET IT GO…
stop trying to resuscitate that which is
DEAD…
release the
PAST
and move on…

This Is What Is Most Difficult…
IT IS THE
SITTING…BREATHING…WAITING…LISTENING…
Charcoal Drawing/Photo by Toni Roberts
while impatience and guilt about the
dirty kitchen floor
dirty laundry piling up
and
this prolonged absence from…
and longing to return to…
the kick-ass world of making shit happen…
PLAGUE
me…
stealing my attention from the
SILENCE
Charcoal Drawing/Photo by Toni Roberts
in which
HER VOICE
can be heard
and the
LESSONS
of
the
DAY
BEGUN...

I Am Slowly Easing Out…
Reflections Of Light On The “Hutch”; photo by Toni Roberts
of the box
into which I squeezed myself
more years ago
than I care to remember…
bit by bit…
day by day…
slowly climbing out of the confines of the past…
leaving the old stories behind
as I create new ones...
it is not a
violent revolution
but a quiet
slowly moving
evolution…
as I follow that which I cannot
see
along a path I do not
know…

Sitting…Breathing…Waiting…Listening…
Sunset on the Hutchinson River…photo by Toni Roberts
none
of
it…
not one moment of the entire
77
years
of
it
was ever about
the
writing
or
the
doing...
it was
always…
in
all
ways…
solely
about the
being...
about the
experience
itself…
