when the heart
is overshadowed
by the mind’s preoccupation
with its stories
the wonder of right-now
passes unnoticed
yet again and again
it happens
the surprise of beauty
found in an “ordinary” moment
happening all by itself…
right where you are
beauty filling the heart
mind falling quiet
in this stillness presence shines
is it possible that this
is what you truly are?
the presence that shines
