Still Searching

All I know

Is that ground is ground

That travel is travel


Very occasionally

Though not so so often

In my experience


You fall upon a still space

A calm space

Where contemplation may join you


Where stillness

Peacefulness

Settles around you


It may be an open arrangement

A beach, or a sand-dune

Or a pathway to the shoreline


Or a field, maybe even a meadow

A towpath beside the canal

On the way to a mountain


It may have walls

A door, even windows

The roof is optional


We might call it a yard

Or a prayer room

Or perhaps a magnificent temple


It could be transitory

Between here and there

Or on the cusp, if you so prefer
