Continuity a Blessing

like Sun

A poem about seeing one’s own seeing, recognizing continuity in one’s own awareness.

continuity of mind a blessing like sun
shine through the clouds, keep on the run
follow the light lining the path
glow from below cooing like calf

a string aligned from then to now
the prior awakenings leading this cow
ring through the nose, drawing me forth
thanks for the metal, stiff from the north

winds out of winter, thickened old skin
weathered with time, care, and sin
resist all the damages, let them come on
absorbed and released, dissolved, gone.

no matter what shows its face in the mirror
the vision that sees it is the real steer
the meat, the maker, the pilot and guide
may all beings in that wisdom abide.
