A Walk On The Beach

beach-1758097_1280

Walking.

Happening, happening, happening.

Soft, warm sand between the toes.

Happening, happening, happening.

Bright sun, cool breeze, sound of waves.

Happening, happening, happening.

Dry mouth and thoughts of a cold drink.

Happening, happening, happening.

Breath coming and going, heart beating.

Happening, happening, happening.

Sweat on the skin, a gentle ache in the legs.

Happening, happening, happening.

Broken glass, hidden in the sand.

Happening, happening, happening.

Pain.

Happening, happening, happening.

A gash in the foot, blood on the sand.

Happening, happening, happening.

Attention on the pain, attention on the blood.

Happening, happening, happening.

An impulse to clean, an impulse to heal.

Happening, happening, happening.

Sun, surf, sand, glass, blood and me.

Happening, happening, happening.

Nothing separate.

The Milky Way

You know the Milky Way?

It’s just here.

Isn’t it?

Arranged the way it’s arranged.

Appearing the way it’s appearing.

Functioning the way it’s functioning.

With nobody doing any of it.

Right?

And you know what.

That’s just like your brain.

Isn’t it?

And they’re not separate.

Are they?

…….

Milky Way happening.

Brain happening.

THIS happening.
