Turning

when I was turning 19
I remember thinking
wow my last year as a teenager...
there were things that needed to be done
I have no idea what it was
probably a new board
but now
having entered into
my last of my 50's decade
what is left to do?

Pema Chodron says,
"Could it be that whether we are awake or asleep,
we are simply moving from one dreamlike state to another?"

perhaps

quite possibly true

so this moment
I sita
listening to the birds chirping
the cat snoring
I sit
dreaming...
