The Ritual

~ Tao Writer

Any serious attempt to try to do something worthwhile is ritualistic. — Derek Walcott

It seems
almost ritualistic,
the way I step
across the bench,
face the sky,
squat down,
adjust my hips,
straighten my back,
and breathe deeply.
All to just sit—
and listen
to the sea.

At some juncture on my journey I chose a different route — to follow no man but myself and to have no god but life. I read, I write, I think, and I dream. I howl at full moons and laugh at myself often.
