As I sit
gazing out my window
a blue bird flies
the tree sways
the leaves quake
the once still air vibrates around me
and I am enveloped in life
nature
connection to earth
I breathe and feel my feet
firmly planted
and know if I continue
to practice
this noticing
this connection
to earth
I will feel
present
more
often
and all I work with
and towards in this life
will grow
as the tree
that sways outside
my window
