Mountains sit like Deities in the window
Urging stillness, in my peripheral
I’d be wise to let them urge me
Let them show me, let them be me
It’s not common practice
to sit and wait for nothing
and linger in the moment
in fact we have been conditioned, not to, that it’s lazy
My breath is steam, as I clutch my tea,
it melts into the morning
I could travel a thousand miles,
right from where I’m sitting
But I resist
I stay and visit
the moment takes me in like a dear friend
Man, I’m glad I didn’t miss it
It may seem silly, may seem awkward
But I’m glad I finally accept the offer
This is great Kenzie, I think the mountain metaphor represents the bigness of the stillness problem we often face in our modern lives. I also like the use of the words “offer” and “urge” it expresses the importance of choice and acceptance.
