Moments in our Day

It can happen at any time

especially if we find ourselves

beneath a vast starry sky

or sitting with our beads

in the early morning hours

and sense ourselves

as tiny sparks of life

part of this extraordinary

gathering of existence

this pulsing aliveness

of material and spiritual energy

visible and invisible

everywhere and everywhere.

And what do we do with

this feeling, this smallness?

We hold it, we bow

we breathe for the moment

until we come back

to the largeness

of our own small life

a little wiser, a little kinder,

a little more connected to

the source of it all

Krishna, and His love

trusting our part in it

however small.
