TWO SAGES

Coffee in one hand

book in another

walk to the back deck

hot spring morning

sit and observe

Gary Snyder in mind

nature in senses

Snyder says

"anything looked at with love

and attention

becomes very interesting"

close book

enough

listen to the traffic

let it go

pay attention to now

purple sage

flower buds

almost blooming

hold lovingly in hand

texture soft

tender

imparts fragrance

deep breath

inhale texture

fresh

alive

pungent

sage

two sages

Snyder and purple

one for the mind

one for the senses

meld in the moment
