This morning the pond is covered by a green carpet of algae.
I feel this urge to interact with these waters and make a ripple but cannot
find anything heavy enough to do what I quest… no rocks or heavy branches,
none.
Did I look hard enough or did I just scan the surface? I see a tall but thick weed, break it, and throw
it in but it is too light to make a difference. It just floats above not
moving, not making a difference, none.
I decide to continue to search and lo and behold, I spy a
heavy branch. Yes. I run to the waterside again…stand on a mound and with
leverage throw it in…yes ripples. In that moment of contact the water became
clear and opens itself to me.
Oh clear water which lies below even though you are covered
again with algae, I know for that moment I felt joy. How long did that moment
last? It’s just a matter how one
perceives time.
How deep was the joy?
It’s just a matter of how long I opened my heart.
