Imagine yourself in this scene.
What is to be done here
beyond being present with what is present
with you?

And doing what is called for
from one situation to another?
You might choose to stand or sit there,
or walk through the scene,
doing whatever occurs to you
and seems to be appropriate to the occasion.

Being one with the scene
as a participant
doing what needs to be done
in each situation as it arises,
and leaving when you wish,
or staying as long as would be fitting
and proper.

And why not treat every scene that way?
Being completely present,
as a full participant
for as long as that would be appropriate
to the occasion,
and then moving on?

Following the flow of scenes
throughout our day
as one who is a present participant
in each one?
