I exercised in

silence today except for

my own mind’s chatter.

                                                                 JDG

In so many ways

the earth says “I love you”. 

May we love her back.

                                                                JDG

Taking Thich Nhat Hanh’s 

advice, saying “Yes” with each 

breath, I sigh, go on.

                                                                                   JDG

I’m seceding from

the Then-What Nation to find

a moment of peace.

                                                                    JDG

Thank you, Universe,

for letting me learn softly

from a big mistake.

                                                                           JDG

I watch as my mind

does a broad sweep, finds something

to worry about.

                                                            JDG

May my mantra be

“relaxed focus, gentle care,

openness to joy”.

                                                                     JDG

I had to arrest 

myself today. The charge?

Disturbing the peace.

                                                                     JDG

Sometimes there is smoke

but no fire, yet a search

 is still required.

                                                                      JDG

Socking away so

much stuff can pack quite a punch

for those left behind.
