cherish the season

what’s in season right now
as you look into nature

here, in the pacific northwest
it is rain, fog and gusty winds

creeks and rivers are full again
the birds, fish and animals

all flowing harmoniously
with the rhythm of the season

and the movements of humankind
follow their patterns too

no difference, we all belong
to the web of life

what’s in season
in your body and mind?

the body following
its patterns

the mind responding
according to its conditioning

what’s in season
in this brilliant never here before,
never here again breath?

with this lens
living is ephemeral,

emerging, impersonal
and deeply intimate

cherish the season
of now
