The Mower


 My daughter and I were discussing 
finding enjoyment in the midst of the extremely 
hectic schedule she has ahead of her this week.
Sharon Blackie talks about bodyfulness
as an evolution from mindfulness.
Hearing an owl hoot and a turkey gobble
this morning when I walked outside
to spread birdseed was a reminder
to absorb the sights and sounds
and sensations of the world around me.
To be enchanted with the line of finches
feasting on the birdseed 
scattered along the deck railing.
By doing so, I activate synapses
inside of me and we are all
together instead of separate
in this microcosm of chronos time.
(thus shifting it into kairos?)
May you experience a bodyful day.
