Poem: Home, Only One Flower Away

A poem dedicated to all teachers and participants at the Mindfulness Retreat in San Diego, California, September 2000

Amazing life of purple-blue
Morning Glory its true name
Vibrant sunny face beams
Elegant breezy arms sway

Deeply I look at the flower
Softly violet hue nods back
Becoming one
The flower and me at play

Whole suchness
Lineage from gentle powerful teachers
Interbeing with quiet nurturing friends
Strength in a delicate way

Present moment,

A poem dedicated to all teachers and participants at the Mindfulness Retreat in San Diego, California, September 2000

Amazing life of purple-blue
Morning Glory its true name
Vibrant sunny face beams
Elegant breezy arms sway

Deeply I look at the flower
Softly violet hue nods back
Becoming one
The flower and me at play

Whole suchness
Lineage from gentle powerful teachers
Interbeing with quiet nurturing friends
Strength in a delicate way

Present moment, wonderful moment
Coming home to timelessness
No more tears
In smiles of oneness I stay

When my heart wearies again
From traveling on the road
I will always remember
Home, only one flower away
