Standing on a different

Part of the planet

Looking at a different

Part of the sky.

Moving through each day

Step by step and breathe by breathe

Learning what there is to learn

By listening and not judging

Passing up the opportunity to be right

Taking the opportunities in being present.

Standing alone with others

Having an openness that could have been lost

Watching the passing seasons

As the stars rearrange themselves

Orion passes from view

as strength sometimes hides

The constellation reappears

But never changed

Or did it grow stronger?
