A conscious nature trilogy

_       Part One: Water nature

Mindfully walking to the bus stop,
  I am taking in the welcome sounds
     and sightings of
      water fountains
      birdbaths large and small
      sprinklers
noticing newly planted beds,
     animated wildflowers
      boulevard wrap arounds,
      the hues of these flower blossoms
      professing the care
    with which they are being tended,
   soul-uplifting signs of attention to Nature
quietly evolving in the neighbourhood.

While I understand the enthusiasm
   for many days of sunshine this summer,
  my awareness of the rising heat levels
   planetarily
have my eyes and heart focussed
   on water.

My eyes trace cloud formations this morning,
  moving into the centre
      of a mysterious configuration of cloud
         stirring above my head,
           feeling gratitude for this presence.
        Seeing clear skies to the south and west over the ocean,
      I find in my heart a living prayer for rain.
   Seagulls dance with pockets of air current,
as if teasing this possibility forward
  that we could call
    in the rain together.

Less than an hour passes when
  swimming toward the deep end of the pool
    where I do my favorite water ritual,
       the unmistakable sweet smell of rain
          drifts in and my heart soars.
        Walking past the cluster of Long and Short Quill pines,
     the maple and sister trees, the yellow grasses of the park  
   every leaf, needle and blade seem to sparkle
 holding hands with the raindrops
  joining a chorus of sky appreciation that rumbles its affirmation.

_ Part Two: Waiting for the mud to settle

Human nature,
  by far the most curious feature
    of the kinship of Life,
least likely to see
   our own character
     reflected
     in the earth around us,
     in all our relations.

Breathtaking to behold,
  our species can be
    in moments of
  spontaneity.

Today I celebrate another delightful adventure
  weaving its way
    from a transformer
      surprised by a jolt of mysterious lightening
        that brings out all the white jackets
          from the meat and deli departments of the local grocer.
          Like a hive just emptied,
        the air is electric
      with spontaneous  buzz and laughter,
     those on till are out front chatting with would be customers
    in conversations
  of the unexpected.

 Powered down to one operating till,
the store manager opts to conserve the remaining power,
 human and electric,
   this Tao of waiting for the mud to settle,
    sustainability in motion.

     My path north brings a favorite new bus driver,
       whose philosophy of work is a tribute to sanity and love.
         A master of the Tao, his “self-care first and the rest will flow…”
           practice
             is evolution in motion.         

           My return journey
             brings the joy of a spontaneous conversation
               initiated by a woman willing
                 to claim her love of joining 5 year olds
                on waterslides
              and 4 stops worth of sharing
            the magic of strangers becoming familiar
          in the company of all our listening relations.

Part Three: Musing on the expansion of consciousness

Dusk is falling over the water,
  a pair of resident bats
    swoop upriver
      as if racing
        for the indentation
          on the other side of the South Fraser workyard.
            As they come dipping in
          to circle round,
        we catch each other by surprise.
      From my perch on the big rock I am marvelling
    at how they can adjust their flight path
  in a matter of seconds.

I look with admiration at this embodied capacity
 and muse
   on what it would be like
     to be communicating consciously
       with every species,
          extending our sensory range
         and truly sharing our existence
      with all the diversity
    of talents
      the whole Earth species embody.

       What climate could we co-create
          joining our divine nature intelligence
           in partnership with the rest of Nature?
