Throughout my life
I've collected rocks from
All the different places I've been.
I now have these rocks
Set around my computer area.
They form part of my altar
To the Sacredness of Life.
The other night as I lay in bed,
My thoughts turned to these rocks;
How they sit so patiently,
Peacefully,
Silently,
Mindfully.
Not distracted by all the activity
That goes on around them.
They just sit.
It occurred to me that this was a lesson
They were teaching me.
Now, as I sit in meditation,
I remember the rocks -
And sit as they do
