break the news

i watch the Father
sway
in the mirror

oh the swaying
around
it seems

the trickle of water
it seems
from here
to there

the leaf
in the breeze

and we think
it actually gives us something,
gives us more,
this seeming
changing position

i am more
on this box,
less on the sofa,
more in this town,
more on this mountain top

checkers,
amusing

and the most brilliant "minds on earth"
study this intensely

very special equipment
to see
if the invisible
electron
is here
or there

papers written,
awards,
careers,

and what about
the attention
to stillness?

how brilliant,
reality,
that happiness
is forever located
in this very space
we seem to occupy

stillness,
not one
anything
away from this
moment,
this location
ever

prenatal,
before motion,
what is?

having lunch
with God

She's singing the fruit,
there is no sweeter fruit
than the end of shame

before shame,
pre natal,
pristine,
Christ

Joy is a renegade
in this world of shame

wouldn't you like to be the one
to break the news
to someone today
that they are innocent?

no one has ever moved
from God

don't you want to be the One?

stillness
