Winter Clarity

To the dunes
to feel the wind,
hear the ocean,
be one with all.

Snow covers sand,
dune grass and bushes
and the trees
meet the night.

Unaware of thought
and bursting with calm,
the Presence surrounds
with connection and love.

Now mind senses cold,
a last drink of purity,
then the walk back
to judgment once more.     <walter belling>
