The Sanctity of Personal Places

I am soon embarking on my fourth trip to Vietnam in the past six years. Each time I visit, sites, some well off the beaten tourist trail and some on, open to my camera revealing sacred energies.
What my camera has captured to date can be found at http://mysacredjourneys.com/art.

My holy place swings on anchor.
Not an up and down, but a to and fro,
a slow drifting light shifting,
movement centered on anchor.
Morning coffee tastes of today's promise,
I see Spirit vapor escape from sea
hinting of gateways and realities of other worlds and times.
Bird on shore, stands frozen hiding in her quiet stance,
watching, waiting and then striking.
Fish, still alive, franticly twitchs for
one more second, then death.
The loon, satisfied steps two, three paces
to look for her second course.
Under my keel, matter flows with life green and gray.
Small mouths feed from the surface with little pop pops.
Over it all, Helios rises supreme.
lordly changing shadow into form and figure around my center.
A drink my coffee and this gift -
time in paradise, sharing the holy.
