HAPPENSTANCE

 

There is a wondrous flow - 

when things pop up, occur,

unfolding graciously

like growth itself:

slow and unseen,

so simple and innate

without any stress or agro.

The present moment holding it all with clemency,

without preamble.

 

Overtones of joy and peace

thread the daily doing:

the hands-on, hard graft,

sweat and exhaustion

like a base trombone:

an undertone of depth

anchoring the Whole -

whether project or person,

heartstrings resonant.
