The early breaths
rest with sprinkled glass
on stone scented
beer and urine
dusky sky is fresh
a clear stream for thought
empty in Plaza del Sol.
Cathdral, soft elegance
my bench, silent eyes
my smile, orange sections
day a juicy peace
called into shape with
Spanish voices
and two bottles of beer
cut another world
through the square.
Paths are a cross
Plaza de Alfonso El Castro.
I lick my fingers
orange on tongue
lift my pack
step on stone. Pavement
to dirt path.
horses with liquid eyes
pull me sideways
rest velvet caresses
another hill climbed
ringing, steady
cowbells across the hills.
As I move through feelings with more ease, awareness grows. I become aware of how my behavior may be perceived by others. When I am caught in the middle of a feeling I lose touch with heart-core-spirit-that is the only thing that doesn’t change-the only constant. Awareness of interactions, seen from others’ point of view, helps me to know the way to be whole. When I am peaceful I can naturally facilitate that with words and actions in relationship. An open heart sees from all sides, directions, knows how to help others feel at peace.
