Behold, the human being
Wise to find a bench
To sit
To be
His is a species
Given to self-delusion
Doing, acting, producing
Playing hard
Not so much beings
As human-doings
Not this man
What we often miss
He gets

We should indeed, but we let so many distractions get in our way. Thanks Jan.

You've explained mindfulness beautifully.

Thank you Ann for the compliment. Mindfulness, yes: a treasure in a world in which mindless modes abound.

An excellent collaboration! Landscape bursting with resplendent beauty nourished by both man and nature yet kept within the confines of the fence, its gatekeeper; hence its ability to offer serenity. Allegorically, the fence serves as a reminder of the need for the mental gatekeeper of our thoughts. Beautiful musings penned in poignant, evoking brevity.
