Which is right? Everything!

Photography both distracts me
and keeps me centered.
Putting away last night's dishes,
I see this plume of light
rising above the houses
across the lagoon
and rush to grab my camera.
Settling into my meditation chair,
I see the container ship,
still gleaming beneath the pink-striped sky,
and reach again for my camera.
Later,
sliding down into my heart space,
I find this poem waiting there,
and interrupt my hard-won peace
to massage it.
And which of these is right, I ask?
Which of these is right?
Everything,
some voice replies:
Which of these is right?
Everything.
