I walk with beads in hand
Dogs stop to say good morning
Listen to the water streaming down the creek
The birds are waking up, doing their morning chants
Arrive at half way point
The bell rings, I am joined by friends and even a cat
I just sit
Ants crawl on the rocks next to me
I just sit
Ants also crawl on me, though they mean no harm
I just sit
The birds begin to quiet, chanting done
I just sit
The bell rings, time to finish
I walk back with beads in hand, ready
…I just sit
