So a Breeze Can Blow Through

an 11th step reflection

It’s like sweeping the porch, or

gently opening the front door with

the screen left intact

so a breeze can blow through.

…

A smile.

A warm and welcoming pie

on the windowsill, or

a lovely, hand written invitation.

Wooing, or

a wish.

…

Sometimes, it’s plowing,

a spontaneous encounter with obstruction

requiring removal of rock and debris

or broken-up concrete.

It may feel akin to pulling weeds,

but not forever

…

Prayer is an ellipsis

An ever-so-slight transition.

Segway.

Selah.

…

Stillness enters

through the screen door, riding on

the subtlety of measured breath,

the calmest of vibrations.

Still water.

…

Meditation is an invitation

to recline on me

while I recline on you.

Take my yoke

Take your rest
