I am just a simple man

          washing my dirty dishes
          sweeping the floor
          feeding dogs, cats
          horse and chickens
          watering my plants
          building a stonewall

          repairing a motor
          writing a poem
          watching the clouds
          walking through the rain
          sitting under a fig tree
          listening to the silence within

          being aware of motions
          triggered in daily life
          trusting that the right event
          appears in its moment
          responding to what is offered
          enjoying feeling alive

          going the pathless path
          receiving by allowing
          openly watching around
          making my decisions
          responsibly relating
          being vulnerable - loving
