Wed
a lover
to your breath.
Then you will understand
that here in this body,
wherever you may go,
awareness of awareness
is better than a thousand
mountaintops,
and by your footpath
through this ruined
apple orchard
a tiny blossoming
forget-me-not enfolds
the boundless sky.
O traveler,
stop!
Note: The Hebrew word for the Sabbath, 'Shabbat,' literally means 'stop.'
