Down the hill to Hinderayre…… From Orkney.com ….

Down the hill to Hinderayre……
As I walk down the hill to Hinderayre,
Fields a soft green in the failing light,
Sloping gently to sea in east and south,
A shroud of rain over Kirkwall across the water,
I am aware, just for a moment.
I stop, and know myself a tiny figure
Cupped in the immensity,
Infinite and contained.
Not like. Not as if.
No seeming.
I am, here and now.
Giving thanks for this point
And this moment in time.
More than kinship,
Infinite and contained.
Neurons fire, my cerebellum lights up,
But I am not fooled by mechanism.
Here I stand, fully conscious in the moment,
My ego’s shield down,
Infinite and contained.
Can you feel it?
Does the meaning escape
The boundaries of these words?
Let them be
Infinite and contained.
