How It Could Be

"Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90.

Time is a concept that humans created."

Yoko Ono

Mysteries are prevalent in life if we slow down to notice them.  Ignoring scientific reason, we can wonder what holds the heavy airplane up in the sky or the bird with spread wings soaring, or the timing of color turning upon a leaf.  

As I peel off the heavy skin of a Clementine, I feel the juiciness leaking onto my fingers.  This is how I am, heavy skinned on the outside, but still juicy inside.  Visualization expands my mind, and meditation deepens my inner awareness.  

When I pause, glancing out the window, I see two hawks nestled together perched upon a limb.  They are braving the snow as it gently falls from the heavens.  One is colored a deep brown while the other is as white as a hawk can be.  Together, side by side, facing challenges as this is how it could be.
