I’d like to think I am above
assessing my value by world
standards of worth
money-
time-
spent.
I am no different.
I was born to this and 20,235 days
485, 649 hours-
that’s half a million!
and bank accounts with my name to
twelve at one time or another
difficult it is to
break from this money mindset
this value in currency and time.
Truth spoke to me just now.
dogs head on lap spring leaves blowing shadows across the deck boards (dappled light makes sense now) the neighbors mower humming over the tall grass (the drone of bees an association I comprehend in this noise)
this.
We wait attentively for this and here I am
in it
it’s like peace but bigger like joy but clearer
is this love
is this freedom
is this a current more worthy of counting
on?
