a man on a mountain
by Charlie Morgani received a telegram from a Lama.
seems he'd heard of my grandson;
said my grandson could teach him
and would we make the journey?
knowing the Lama has many duties
yet stammered: two year old teacher.
teaching an ancient one, a guru.
i did my part, i escorted Kai.
upon the mountain he sat, await.
a gaze and a fresh breeze blew by,
as we traveled upward, winding.
a smile readied his instruction.
he only observed; often grinned,
often sat wide-eyed in wonder.
he had questions, maybe many.
he had only one, he queried.
how can this young man,
this servant of God
stay in the divine Moment?
i must know his secret. 06/03/2008 Posted on 06/03/2008

| Posted by Morgan D Hafele on 06/05/08 at 05:37 PM i don't think it's a secret at all... just something we've all forgotten |
