Dinner for Heron

Spotting a great blue meandering gracefully
along the bank of the little pond

Reaching one end
Crossing the width to the other side

Catching a glimpse of movement
moving towards, inch by inch

Ah!  A fish!  Don't care what kind
no- mind knows not "what kind"

Staying perfectly still
Poised for the one fell swoop

Unsuspecting fish plucked out
just like that!  just like that!

Fish dangling from magnificently curved beak
for a spell

Placing it on ground
Fish flapping about a bit, heron quickly snatching it up
(repeating as many times
as needed)

Bringing fish over to the picnic spot....
and....Voila!   fish of eighteen-inch more or less,
disappearing down three-inch more or less neck
of heron

HA!  Now you see it, now you don't
What a slight of hand...or
simply just energy changing forms
....doing its thing.....
in the circle of life

Last night at my meditation group this quote was read from the Tao te
Ching, "The truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing"

       Nothing can keep one from being ordinary.
       Bereft of uncommon attributes,
       a being of simple disposition,
       unacquainted with the extremes of
       constant longing.
       Without ambition in the appreciation
       of the gross and subtle distinctions
       of the illusion of greatness.
       Unattached to the vagaries
       of empty achievement.
       Devoid of the predilection
       of self righteous judgment.
       At home with the evaporation
       of countless misconceptions.
       Truly alive and aware
       in the ever changing
       state of being.
       At play with the dynamic
       presence of existence.
