Meditation

This daily practice

This writing everyday

This recitation of thoughts

memories, dreams and reflections

This turning on the coffee

This music of whirling blender

This making a mess

so I may straighten up my morning

This washing of dishes

This cleaning the blender

This wiping of counters

before I step out on the porch

greet the morning, wave at regulars,

the dog walkers, fast walkers, slow walkers,

folks on the phone, bed heads and hat wearers,

the yoga women who park in the street,

walk through the park, practice yoga

on a concrete slab by the pond

I hear your laughter

it makes me smile
