“The Little Buddha in the Woods”

The little Buddha in the woods

Hidden in plain sight

Sings me into a state

Beyond the this and that

Of ordinary time

Into an orbit where

The messy entanglement

Of nature reveals itself to be

A never ending symphony

Of mystery, drama and delight,

As long as you don’t take it

Too personally.
