The mind itself is not the problem. How
we use it is.
Who and what
does it
serve?

Full Stop
We come to the end
of our knowing and a strange
new world awaits us.
Some say go forward; some say
go back. How do we decide?
Day 164 – Valentine Sent And Received
I showed myself I
cared this Valentine’s Day by
gently working out.

Valentine’s Day Tonglen
This Valentine’s Day
I’m breathing in loneliness
and breathing out connection.

Day 163 – Game Changer
Another gray day,
but not for me. Exercise
came and rescued me.

Not One Drop More
The pond rises slowly, bit by bit, ’til
it can contain
not one drop
more. We
can
be
like this
too, taking
on more than we
can hold. I’m hoping for a gentle spill.

Day 162 – Fortuitous Delay
The delayed school day
was an opportunity
for me to work out.
Both the kids and I give thanks
for a more leisurely start.

Folded Hands
I wanted to share this honest and beautiful poem by Kunal Thakore.
I Listen And Learn
Each time the rain stops,
the birds fill the air with song.
I listen and learn.
Let the rain have its full beat
and, in time, I’ll have mine too.

Day 161 – Finding What Works
Each of us must find
a way that works for us.
Stange as it may seem,
writing a poem each time
I do my exercise
holds me to the task.
