At fifteen I tried to meditate
Finding the stillness was as hard
As trying to balance atop a
Greased glass ball atop
A sheet of greased glass.
Later finding the stillness
Wasn't required.
It was always waiting
Like a comforting nest that
I could drop into at will.
Now forty-five years later
There's another change
The stillness no longer contains
In quiet comfort and joy, no
I drop through into infinity.
