My
last stop before home
Thich
Nhat Hanh’s monastery
in
Batesville, Mississippi
I
have arrived
I
am home
The
statue is new
Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King
holding
the words
“Beloved
community”
At
a campfire
the
venerable nuns
with
ages of practice
in
Vietnam
speak about compassion
We eat toasted corn
drink
tea
and
sing songs
my
offering
comes from our first grade mindfulness practice
breathing
in
b
Each
of us is searching for
and finding our
beloved
communities
May
we be safe and protected.
May
we be surrounded by love and kindness.
May
we live with ease.
