BAKED IN FULL SPECTRUM RADIANCE

(C) 2009 Howard McQueen

It makes a difference sometimes,
being four thousand feet
closer to the
hydrogen-fusion reactor
we call Our Sun, old sol,
warming us,
ninety-three million miles away.

Blue Skies and the Red Rocks of Sedona,
these ancient carved landscapes
are encouraging and provoking me
to step off the trails
to wake up well ahead of the dawn
to really drink in and appreciate the freedoms ...

Plenty to be grateful for
like our long lifespan,
lived in the wink of Sol - ha!

[sighing]
A knowing deep within
that there are forms and an order
approaching an infinite underlying magnitude.

Resting in the relative timeless backdrop
of fifty trillion stars
brings its own sense of serenity
insignificance - interconnectedness,
shrouded in deep, deep Mystery.

This entry is provoking a sense of sacred reverie, this blissful, temporary release of earthly cares and just basking in the Oneness, like a lizard baking in the mid-afternoon sun. We are indeed well-captured when portrayed as God's creatures of sensual delight. - HM
