we can have a seat here by the lake. we can stay here for a while and watch the last light saying it’s goodbye over the mountain range. Stop. Breathe. Notice what you see. Notice what you love.

we can have a seat here by the lake. we can stay here for a while and watch the last light saying it’s goodbye over the mountain range.

Stop.

Breathe.

Notice what you see.

Notice what you love.

It does not rush or demand. It simply lowers itself behind the dark ridges.

My thoughts keep meeting the light exactly where it is.

The light does not adjust itself to my thoughts.

I adjust, gently, toward the light.

Continually reducing the distance between one’s internal representation and reality while refusing to violate relational integrity.

One small adjustment.

Then another.

The string holds its quiet tone.
