Discipline

PHOTO.friendship garden stone
A huge stone nestles in the shade of a pine tree at the Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
 


It takes tons of discipline just to be a stone,
Sitting in the sun and rain, sitting all alone,
Sitting there ignored and shunned as the years roll by.
Don’t you wish you were a stone? “No, I don’t, not I.”

 
 
~~~ ## ~~ ## ~~
 
 
When the old stone sings,
even crows in the pine tree
stop wagging their tongues.

A young visitor seems to be talking to pigeons near the koi pond at Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
 


What should people whisper to pigeons at the pond?
Any whispered word will do, as long as it is fond.
