Can I just sit here?
In this open field...
watching the ballet of butterflies
doing the joyous dance
of non-attachment?

Can I just sit here?
In this quiet room..
all aglow
with the candle's warmth
and vanish in all denial
of all things electronic?

Can I just sit here?
Next to this blue lake?
And learn it's valuable secrets
of stillness and motion?
Smooth surface
but swift undercurrent...
Like waves created 
from one tiny leaf...

Can I just sit here...
in the cool green backwoods...
to learn the lessons of 
unity and diversity
in the midst of 
a multitude of creatures...?

Can I just sit here....
without appointments,
and expectations,
without the pressure of
counting and anticipating
every single minute....?

Can I just sit here...
To align with a solitude
Of my own design
