Start Again
They come from Cumbria
Wisdom Manjushri's
Morning doves
Of peace
They serenade me still
Now somewhere in Spain
On a hill
These birds they say
“Start again!
Without a plan
You have your orders”
Make some room
For holiness to happen
Moments of holy
Happy Truth
Savor each
And every moment
Like Leonard seems to do
Lichee, Truffle
Chocolate Dark
And Bittersweet too
There is that crack
In every “thing”
The plan-less day
The nameless me
The monk that I
Don't have to be
Each day a canvas
Virgin, clean
Where moments happen
Between you and me
PS cybermoments are still 'moments'
PPS namelessness is sweet relief
PPPS apologies to my Irish nun-friend who has been occasionally oppressed by my 'plans'
