How It Is Done

Sitting, one becomes the mountain.

Relaxed posture reaching heavenward,

planted firmly in the center of oneself,

rooted in the depths of some greater balance.

Moving, one wades effortlessly through the earth

a nearly tangible filament connecting one’s core

to the midst of the planet so that when gliding along 

one is more of an orbiting body than

those skittering like water over a hot griddle.

In presence and awareness, one absents judgment,

sees what one sees.

Observation alone will facilitate change.
