Five minute snooze button.
…luxuriously snoozed for a good hour
…before actually getting out of bed
…even if wide awake that whole time
…thinking of things
…some pleasant, some not.
Holding plank
Infinite holes all over the mat
Rubbery texture
Fingers gripping to go longer
Time is endless.
Meditation
Don’t scratch that itch
Don’t scratch..
Don’t!
Scratch…
Thaaaat…
Iiiiiiitch!!!!
An Outing
Left sock then right
Tie shoelaces
Check pockets for all the things
Twist the knob
Open the door
A patch of daisies
buds,
blooms,
leaves,
stems.
Ants along the edge between sidewalk and dirt following an invisible road.
Roly-poly crawls out, bumps our shoes.
A profusion of life.
Sustenance
chop chop
sizzle sizzle
the whole world on my plate
from seed to belly
trade trade trade
stomach full
scrape scrape scrape
Nidra
feet, legs, hands and arms
back, front and sides
neck and head
eyes…
Rest
breath goes up and down
soft and shallow
mind loose, drifting from thought
heavy silence
Absorb into the infinite
