Being

Taking the time out to be a human being
Sitting outside in the warm evening light
Watching the birds come and go from the feeder
Dropping seeds under our chairs for the chipmunks

Be still and soon enough so much will happen.
Such a pleasant time together being with you
Not much talking except a remark now and then
Noticing what’s going on around us.

These days our life is an exercise in keeping fit
Standing balanced on one foot with arms outstretched
Leg extended to the side as we are looking in the mirror
Counting the duration as we are holding the pose.

Enjoying summertime birthdays coming around again
We have the gifts of good health and easy living.
