“Left lane must turn left.”
I wish the signs along life’s
way were all so clear.

Breath By Breath
No words
Just peace
Sweet release.

Day 160 – Slowly I Learn
Good lesson for life
in this daily exercise –
bend and stretch, bend and stretch, bend…

Teachings Of Trees
In this sparse season
leafless trees stand, limbs outstretched,
rooted and waiting.
What was has fallen away.
What will be has not yet come.

Day 159 – Still Going
It’s not quite sublime,
neither am I in the flow,
but still I give it a go.

Mini Hibernation
Waking from a nap,
rainy winter afternoon –
warm satisfaction

Morning Meditation
When I consider
how quickly the morning frost
fades beneath sun’s warmth.
I pause and send my patches
of frozenness compassion.

Day 158 – If Not Now, When?
It’s not too late
to get my thinking straight
and care for the present state
of my long-neglected body.

Starting Point
In the beginning
this poem was without form
and my mind was void.

Day 157- On My Own
With a house full of teens yesterday,
I chose to pass on exercise,
not wanting to hear their helpful
advice, jeers, or cheers.
Today with them all safely at school,
I’ll exercise ’til I drool.
