Learning to be Here and now

 

The journey in the East,

The path is new therefore it occupies all attention

East, the direction of childhood,

Focusing thoughts on the present moment.

Little sister, do all things with your tiny being,

Here and now.

With the East comes the West. . .

Inner warnings

Listen to the thunder and lightening

Absorbed with the gathering

Blind to the danger of the hungry owl

Listen

Here and now.

Look North, little sister

To the future

The mighty wind will ensure

Happines and well-being

Here and now.

Learn the lessons of the South

So as not to be arrogant

Or too proud

To listen to others.

Greatness and humility

Are opposite of the same reality

Hear and now.

Little sister

Travel with patience

On the journey

Here and now.
