An afternoon ramble

Green tea and a book,
on a quiet afternoon,
now that I am older
I often find myself sleeping.

I seek to pray and my mind wanders,
writing helps me to focus and be present,
allowing inner thoughts to emerge
that I did not know were there.

Are my musings true I often ask myself,
who is it that writes,
as if the words pour out of me
apart from my own cognition.

I don't know,
like helping others,
why do I do that?

Ya know,
not sure I care,
I will do it anyway.

Perhaps we are all
the second greatest mystery,
God and his love and mercy
being the greatest,
an eternal journey into the embrace.

Ah, green tea and a book, that's a little time spent in heaven. I've been exploring the wonderful world of Japanese green teas, although Good Earth Vanilla green tea is delicious. And maybe a wandering mind is a form of prayer, or at least meditation. Just turn it loose and watch where it goes!
