not sitting for anything in particular,
just enjoying how beautiful
just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,

You will become a child again, reborn.

I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."
