Every moment, this one,
especially, we are on the cusp
of joy. The big kind. And peace,
the kind that passes understanding.
Follow this one prompt--take joy
in this house-body--and what is
near it now. Open to Life, Yours
and Others. Let your soul yawn
wide and loud as a lion. And
wake up.
What was it you were anxious about,
kvetching about, ten seconds ago?
Don't try to remember. Breathe in
forgetfulness like the smell of fresh bread.
Recite the grace you learned,
and knew, but lost: "For this,
and all your many blessings....
Remember?
Remember!
And then, with an appetite large
as that lion: Eat, child.
Eat.
