I was watching the leaves flutter in the breeze when a flash seemed to sparkle from, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know, a less defined shadow, and like the sun reflecting on glass, I considered this:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201d self and its myopic concerns is a tendency in time not a thing that has already happened. <\/p>\n

And I actually felt the flash, I am not only a gathering of memories, but a living unfolding, a being in transition, a clarifying awareness. From seeing through this more fundamental perspective there was appreciation that memories may guide, but the past need not control a limited conceptual future, there is freedom to receive the arriving clarity of my being\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Then, this poem from Ken arrived in time, more light-reflections, like the movement of shimmering water\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Bird Sighting<\/strong>
\n\tBy Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

Iridescent green fleck light gold shine,
\nThis back of a folded wing set against
\n\tDark green still leafed tree, both held,
\n\t\tBoth stabilized, surface forms,
\n\t\t\tBroad ease and checked impulse bound
\n\t\t\t\t And set out here this late fall day,<\/p>\n

And then this hummingbird pops up and skips on out
\nIn an instantaneous reshape of the whole garden scene,
\n\tTowering twists that break apart in shoot aways,
\n\tDead trembling stalls that freely jam out into all arounds,<\/p>\n

\t\tAnd my spine trills, and my back lifts,
\n\t\tAnd new light feeds my eyes, shining right along,
\n\t\tAs the newly founded multi-field warps out its lively ways,
\n\t\tWalls fall away, arise then, a new angular staircase, wing lifts
\n\t\tA sheer bounce to a high drift, new light welcoming each new step,
\n\t\tUp or down, sideways too, to follow it one by one,
\n\t\tA hopeless progression, and yet this flight sings true,<\/p>\n

\t\tNo guidebook would lead us here,
\n\t\tOnly surprise, the impossibles, the stirs,
\n\t\tLife itself rolls out to us, into us, as us too,<\/p>\n

And my thought is that this startling bird
\n\tIs happy in its sky play,
\n\t\tTakes joy in the stunning climbs, spills,
\n\t\tFlash around blurs it makes at will,<\/p>\n

\t\tIts own truth, own guide, own way,<\/p>\n

And I find myself within
\n\t\tIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ever changing buoyancies,
\n\t\t\tThrilled, left behind, exhausted now,<\/p>\n

\t\tAnd I need to catch my breath,
\n\t\t\tAnd pull it from the pure blue sky,
\n\t\t\t\tI do just that half expecting misty contrails
\n\t\t\t\tTo show up in my throat lungs heart belly groin<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tAnd so they do, these moist bubbling traces
\n\t\t\t\tLaid down by the stir and whirr
\n\t\t\t\t\tOf glittering wings, I find them now
\n\t\t\t Within each draw and each release,<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tAnd these and this your gift to me, dear bird,
\n\t\t\t\tA piece of light wrought by you this day
\n\t\t\t\t\tHere in your lift of play around fade
\n Found in these wing spun passages
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSung out this late October afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
