Delicate & Wild

Will you join me for a cup of tea today?

I am struck by how delicate life is

In this moment

The leaves budding anew

Fresh and vulnerable

The buds swelling

The spring flowers trusting to open into all life has to offer

All death may bring

I am struck by how delicate life is

Our hearts howling into the grace of grandmother moon

Longing, Loving, Losing

How tragic and fertile this life

The experience of living

I mean

The infinite shades and forms, sensation and emotion

Unbearable - Vivacious

I am struck by how delicate life is

As I sip jasmine green tea that holds the memory of Fujian soil and air

How delicate and enriched I feel in this moment

As if I truly am a breathing and beating expression

Of life experiencing itself

Delicate and Wild
