three day meditation

Our annual three day meditation

Driving the interstate highway south

Quietly watching the landscape pass

Letting the road take us there


Escaping from winter cold and dark

Heading to southwest Florida 

We know the way to familiar stops

And the traffic is mostly uneventful


But every trip is different

Existing in a different context

We aren’t getting any younger

And the world doesn’t stand still


Quite obviously this year

Between the pandemic and politics

The deepening crisis of this system

Makes for a dangerous time


We take what precautions we can

To limit our exposure to the virus

While monitoring the attempted steal

Playing out in the election news


People not wearing masks indoors 

So many at risk drinking the kool-aid

Believing whatever conspiracy he tweets

Followers moving towards fascism


This is a struggle to the death

For the government of white supremacy

Though the next office holder is not much better

None can deny the many millions who voted no to racism


There will be no great leap forward

Just a pause perhaps in the devolution

Unless those millions take matters into their own hands

To throw out every oppressor once and for all
