I sit in the still quietness of morning; br Eyes closed, cross-legged br Breathing deeply, rhythmically br Random thoughts float by br like so many summer clouds br Brain struggles to replenish but br quickly yields to stillness… br br My “Special Place” br br That rests between; br Earth and sky, br Moon and sun, br Heaven and hell, br Euphoria and angst, br Courage and cowardice, br Light and dark, br Right and wrong, br br A place of safety and peace; br Sanity and reason br Unlimited consciousness br Where true-self dwells br Where all is possible br br A special place ruled by a single word… br br Love! br br ROTMSbr br Ray Lucerobr br
