if then

​bobcat is here
to admonish you
to take downtime
to attune
​to this to that

integrating lessons
of a new life cycle
medicina anima
sheer facts of beauty
and order

if
common sense is rarely common
then

walking talk
finding patience
alleviating anxiety 
discerning traces

searching and reaching
learning and teaching

secrets skills such
as adaptability
as fortitude
as itself a kind of gratitude 
as if it’s all true

the grace and delicacy
and exquisite solitude felt
tasting a strawberry
for the first time

ever and ever 
again here
you are
crossing your path
