Reminders come from all directions:
Be aware. Be alert. Pay attention.
And they humble me,
I who spend hot summer days
gazing lethargically at my navel.
Time to revise and review
whether I want to continue
what I claim is my favourite activity:
reading-while-eating
(that is, paying attention to neither).
Time to take in the pleasure of my thrice-weekly
café au lait with all my senses, consciously—
or just to stop drinking it.
Time to
(oh, I'm so sick of these reminders)
time to pay attention
not just to this twinge or that,
as I fearfully do,
but to broaden the gaze
and see what I see with loving attention
instead of turning away
to deflect my view of the outside.
Reminder:
It all ends abruptly.
Take care of your time.
