This Body
such a good friend
brings Awareness 
to this exquisite red rock canyon creek bed
Gratitude
that it can still carry her here 
for this moment of pristine peace and beauty.

How many more times 
she wonders
can This Body bring her
to a place such as this 
for a moment such as this?

Newly born
spring green shoots emerge joyfully 
in hanging gardens that cling to the seeping hillside
dripping down varnished sandstone walls 
where the promise of a hidden petroglyph lurks

For how many thousands of years
in how many forms
has she come here 
to witness springtime light up the 
thread of the canyon creek?
Each Body a precious gift 
offering Awareness a new opportunity to witness and experience 
the miraculous and mysterious manifestation of 
Light Becoming Life

As Gaia and Sol reveal their
infinite capacity for creative expression
of their Love
her Beloved is nearby
enjoying his sojourn 
with his old rock friends 
Her heart rests
knowing they are together in this moment
even at a distance 
She hopes it will always be so
even after These Bodies
have let go of their familiar forms

For now 
she’s not trying to get
anywhere
only Here
in this quiet mystery

resting
after a journey of 14 billion years…

(I do not assume I will ever be here again.
And, in this moment, I Am content.)
