Keeping Time

by Luci Kegley | Lacey, WA

The journey, too long to contemplate
My goal, stay present in body, mind, and soul
Be present, in this moment
Be open, to the one thing that happens next

Time is measured in steps and released in the wandering of the mind
Time is measured in conversations and release of expectations
Time is measured in the dance of my footsteps, the rhythm of my poles
