Deer do not look both ways
Before they cross.
In fact, they have no idea about looking.
They cross.

It's a question of focus.
They have it.  They go  forward.

It is for us to stop.
To breathe.
To let
These gentle shape-shifters
Transform the here and now
Into the religion of being.

It is for us to watch shadow
Take the form of life
And to enter the dream.

    Lovely verse about the most elegant animal. More times than not we see a deer or more while we are playing golf.
