Buddha Calling
When it’s quiet
And you walk by that low table
The one with the lamp on it
There’s a low repeating vibration
Like a phone on mute
Ringing, calling
Stop to answer, listen, explore
No, there’s no phone there
Beside the lamp
Sits a small stone Buddha
Check the lamp, the Buddha
Must be something vibrating
With nothing apparent
Must be Buddha calling
Stop, be present
Listen

Interesting exploration of the connections between spirit and object. Nice writing, Jess.
Many thanks Laura.
Love this! And like to think about that line “Must be Buddha calling”..thanks!
Yes I had fun with this, thanks Ann.
Buddha does call and this one came through loud and clear, thank you for your gentle poignant words Jess.
