'ing'-ing

 · indulging in dainties

 · informing the chicks not to mess with my table arrangements

 · mowing the lawn

 · dreaming of the ocean

· listening to the honeybees

· enjoying the lushness of my dyeing garden

· spotting bumblebees under the lee of flowers

 · smelling roses after rain

· finding topsyturvydoms in raindrops

· dwelling on this prayer:

Gratitude to the Great Sky who holds billions of stars -


and goes yet beyond that -
 

beyond all powers, and thoughts and yet is within us -


Grandfather Space.


The Mind is his Wife.
