In this high domed silence,
surrounded by mountain peaks
and hushed forest,
I sit on a sun-warmed rock
watching the azure water
that holds so many stories...
so many stories all around me,
in the bee that drones around my head
the scattering of pebbles near my feet
the scent of decaying leaves
and the gentle touch of sunlight on my face

I can breath in this place and become it,
its silence, its movement
its life and death,
melt into the infinite universes all around me
merging with the rock and grass and water,
just a small part of an enormous place in time
but in my own way, significant
