Breakfast Meditation

Stirred, wrapped in
Not quite turquoise
Not quiet pine green
Breakfast meditation
Season’s rhythm
A litany of thoughts
Plays upon life’s reason
Weaving stories
In strokes of sunlight

To-day’s your natal day;
Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
My offering.
And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.

Northern Rocks
Photographed by Susan Koster
I’ve been to a few places that seem no different than places that I have been to before. On the other hand some places give me a feeling that causes me to instantly fall in love with that particular location. Some places make me wish that I could purchase it right away because it resembles ‘a piece of heaven on earth’. There is nothing more peaceful to me as hearing the waves beat against the rocks. The rough ocean, for me, allows me to meditate on beauty, humanity and the enduring power nature.
Recently I flew over an island, the waters were tranquil and the turquoise waters seemed to whisper to me. The entire northern part of the island has a very rugged coastline which the locals refer to as “da nort side.” It took Columbus three days to coast this 60 mile shore. I am surprised that he did not just anchor his boat and build a home there.
He could have raised a few sheep and could have been the first to taste another mouth watering delight that I experienced on this island – “ Long Island mutton.
Turquoise water
Hear its burst of energy nearby
The rich coral rock glistens
as I sit and hunt the ocean
my thoughts where beauty lies
suspended, mellow
