I fill my hours
searching for Wisdom,
seeking the Way,
busy
with books
and talks
and meditation,
constantly overlooking
the great Master
who shares my home –
My dog,
who flows with the Tao
so effortlessly
Sleeping when tired,
Playing when energetic,
no worries of the future,
no regrets of the past,
living only in the Now.
How wise and serene she looks
perched in silent meditation
beside me.
