Bird, Bug And Tree
Imagine your awareness
extending into other forms,
a bird, bug or a tree -
what it would be like
to feel the world through them,
immersed in whatever
is taken in, to assume
the very essence
of being them.
Ponder what is happening
behind the bright, wide eyes
of a dog when it looks up
and stares at you - question
whether there is nothing but
a rudimentary, dialled down
awareness flickering
in the shadowy circuitry
of a mind -
or is there, somewhere
within, a presence
of the indivisible,
the same that is inside me
and the bird, bug and tree.
