Meditation of Reality
If nothing is better,
what is better?
Start from the end—
death.
That’s where your story closes,
and where you find
the quiet power
to live once,
fully.
Nothing is better than this:
to begin living.
And then,
you realize—
you’ve spent so many years
looking away.
A surprise.
Still nothing is better?
Try being in reality.
Watch each inch of time
move through your eyes.
That’s meditation—
the meditation of reality.
