'always going, never arriving.' <br />i've thought about this one <br />for a while. <br />and i think there's another step! <br /> <br />the bare limbed tree in winter, <br />frozen branches, no sign <br />of life. <br /> <br />and yet beneath the surface, <br />life is forming, having been lost, <br />begins again! <br /> <br />perfect stillness. <br />no need for going, <br />or arriving ... you're <br />already there! <br /> <br />all that is life <br />is present. <br />what you seek for <br />you already are! <br /> <br />take off your shoes, <br />lay down your pack, <br />and embrace each breath. <br /> <br />the tides come in <br />and go out. <br />but the ocean remains!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-for-sam/
