Loving here,
this dry desert land ancient and majestic
I am
Engulfed nightly in the expanse of this southern sky backlit
by the brilliance of the sinking sun
All 360 degrees wide open and
Thirty seven thousand hues of blue to violet to crimson:
radiant
I am
Loving, loving, loving myself
I am
practicing all the yogic ninja training tricks I know
in the morning cool
I am
understanding siesta: jumping in the water,
wrapping myself in a wet shawl,
reading, writing, crafting, napping
I am
Feeling my body, strong and alive
Pulsing alive for this place and time
