There’s an empty field behind our house
every morning it comes alive
welcoming a gaggle of leggy geese
honking their sun salutations
same gaggle every day
same time too
they swoop in all at once – a goosey cacophony
interrupting my reverie
but then the most remarkable thing –
they stand in a circle of prayer
practicing their mindfulness
a birdlike tadasana
I stand at the window transfixed
then imitate their still-life pose
greeting the morning in peace
ready to take on the day
