I’m noticing my windows need cleaning…
the sun will do that to you.
We crave the light only to find
dust bunnies under the table.

There’s always something
pulling you out of joy.
Noticing turns into
a “to do” list,

or an irritant, how
it should be different.
The mind
having free rein

drags you
into perpetual
discontent, blind to
life’s magic.

Reverse course
Let wonder humble you
See with curiosity.
Get yourself lost,

make love, be intimate
with what’s around you.
Engage the world always
for the first time.
