Signs

I was looking for a sign 

that I was heading in the right direction

Today, I saw a white bird,

I don’t know if it was a dove,

on the ground in front of me.

In twenty years, I’ve never seen

one of those before.

Actually, before I saw the white bird,

I realized my whole life has been a sign

a sign I was a Buddhist

a sign I had been so for lifetimes

a sign that, in this life, I had been in the

right place at the right time.

Believe it or not, 

it has nothing to do with belief.

The signs, the “da”s are always there

for anyone to see.

“Look, and then, you can see.” Trungpa

You see?

(I know…that was a cheap shot.)

Question:

Someone hands you a piece of paper,

and stands in front of you.

You open it, it reads:

“Look up.”

What do you do?

Do you see?
