Za-zen

Today's word is "Za-Zen" ... meditation in a prescribed, cross-legged position.

Pause
Flitting, fluttering,
Going here and there,
Getting things done,
Important things,
Working on stuff,
Making money,
Making the world go 'round
No time for Za-zen,
Barely time to breathe,
Barely time to think,
Suddenly, a lifetime,
goes by ...

A little more breathing,
A little more noticing,
A little more sitting,
Hands open,
Heart open,
Eyes open.
Grateful,
Time folds
It's wings.
