The Heart of the Matter
February 14, 2009
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

May I stay here forever
in this perfect place of peace with you --
the sacred space
between in breath and out,
the final coming home,
timeless moment before the need
for anything has risen,
Buddha enjoying his late afternoon nap
with no one around
to extract any meaning from it.
First, there is a breath,
then there is a second.
This is how I begin my
long walk with you by the water's edge,
cool white sand beneath both our feet.

i've heard that once between the in breath and the out breath, there is no need for a second breath.....
