The River

I looked out the window this morning
And watched the sun dance on the river
As the water flowed uproariously along
Delighting in its freedom
Each drop belly up floating in the sun
Supported in its scintillating being
By its oneness with every other drop
Everything embraced and encouraged
By Mother Space.

I looked out the window this morning
And gazed at the river
Feeling its joy.
And I was That.
