\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Drawing on our own mind and senses and feelings, we can open the heart of space and enter the depth of time. What starts as an idea discloses its availability at the center of all that is. As the magnitude of the positive is amplified, the wholeness of experience steps into the light. Freely and easily, knowledge walks forward to greet us, inviting our participation with a gentle smile.<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

TODAY I FEEL MOMENTARY\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6
\n\tBy Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

Today I feel momentary, ghost like,
\nAnd this makes things new because
\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m usually sure of absences,
\nKnowing mostly what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not here anymore,<\/p>\n

But I am here today in this space before vanishing,
\nDeck and chair and me, various Japanese maples,
\nThe slowly rounding earth, the autumn sky<\/p>\n

I could really use a cup of strong coffee,
\nI need to wake up,
\nHow are the Niners faring, the Bears, the Giants?<\/p>\n

Where is the Sporting Green?
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s long gone,<\/p>\n

Where are my younger days, my older, my last, my days no more?<\/p>\n

Might as well ask just where are the orange groves of Southern California.
\nWhere are the phases of the moon?
\nAll of everything\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s caught up in the grand reality of change,
\nSo much so, nothing finally obtains.<\/p>\n

But there is a bubbling where I am,
\nLips, throat, slurpy juices,
\nThe fabricating airing that lungs are as they breathe,
\nThe momentary fabrications of thought and feeling,<\/p>\n

These are as rare as a cellular display of galaxies in a droplet of water
\nDrawn from an otherworldly underground stream,
\nWould that I had a tumbler full of that
\nEntering my throat right now,
\nAnd brimming there like this good coffee does,
\nRich savory dark varied flavorful,<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d mouth it, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d relish it, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d share it,
\nIn breath, word, kiss,
\nRight now, right here, on this calm October day\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
