Be here now, oh hermit! Rest lower mind.
Each moment holds eternity within.
Toil no more: simply leave all thoughts behind.
Open heart loving, feels bliss ignition.
Be still to receive Gods benediction.
Enjoy flow of life, moment to moment.
Current divine, heightens our bliss quotient.
Opt for the Satvik stance, feeling complete.
Melt in the void, vibrant in the current.
Enter the heart, suffused with bliss replete.

ONE
I did go to 5am prayers, with flashlight, and at 4:30
Felt remorse for my faults, as neighbor, leader, pastor ...
Even prayed for my enemies and foes, whosoever will!
Even interceding for China and the coronavirus angst, global near-panic
Lovers lost and promises broken, telling others "Celibacy is do-able!"
TWO
This day went well as far as teaching about Mesopotamia
I made connections: their numbers based on 60 gives us time & angles
Reviewing how their 5,000 year-old potters wheel, birthed wheeled things
Educating young minds to ask, "Why first harvests at rivers? Why not hunt?"
Dealing with students is fun. Dealing with bureaucrats, yes at college, stings!

Poetry is my voice
and your being
is my everyday inspiration.
In you, I felt
the Unseen.
Nothing, not even
my awards,
can match the great happiness
you brought into my life.
You’ll always be in my heart.
