That Smirk

meditation

a daily practice for me

try to do my mid day meditation

outside

accompanied today by

red dragon fly

cardinals

mockingbirds

finches

 lizard

 

always surprised

what

arises before 

letting it go

 

today found me thinking of my recent visit to the dvm to renew my drivers license...in my state this

is every ten years until you reach sixty five years of age. it will be my last time before dropping back

to every five years. the time before there were feet diagrams on the floor showing where to stand

for your picture...this time none. being tall...i chose to stand against the wall but was told to step closer. she took my photo and instructed me to lower my head to try again. next photo i was again instructed to lower my head at which point i started laughing...(was i supposed to look at my feet? i've always been a scavenger...searching for gifts as i walk. my mother was always after me to stand up straight... something i try to do as an adult when out in public ... although i still walk watching the ground when alone). the woman refused to taking my picture with me laughing...guess that wasn't the face they thought they would see at a traffic stop. so it ended up the deer in the headlights look with a smirk on my face....something to proudly show for the next ten years. at least it will probably put a smile on this old face when asked to identify myself.
