And On Day 6

I know it’s not all

in my mind, but still I find 

it strange, that in so

few days, with so little work,

I feel a whole lot better.

Offerings

World,

what gifts will you bring me today?

May I

not turn anything you bring away.

And may I 

offer my own small gifts to you.

I Persist, Day 5

Day five and I persist.

Who knows when this path will end

or even where it will take me?

What I do know is simply this:

it’s the path I’ve chosen.

Workout Clothes

All these years I’ve tried to fit in other

people’s clothes. It’s

time I found

and wore

my

own.

They’ll fit

my frame, both

body and mind

and I will slip them on and off with ease.

An Open Invitation

Nevertheless,

 the Divine persists,

each moment offering 

an invitation

to participate with

awareness 

and an open heart.

The Journey – Day 3

Under the watchful

supervision of the dogs,

I make my way to 

the mailbox and back. Toby’s

grateful for the trip.

Jimmy’s not so sure. I’m just

glad I have at last

begun this fitness journey

and I’m grateful for

whatever help I get – be it

dogs, humans, or videos.

Journey Begun

It wasn’t something

I planned to do, but I may

have finally stumbled

(some would say I was guided)

toward a path that I can walk.

With Fingers Crossed

So where do I start

after so many starts that

came to a sudden

stop? Begin where you are, they

say, and begin with

what you know. I’ll start here, right

now, sitting in my

chair. I’ll take my resistant

self in hand and start

blogging my path to fitness.

~

Why not? It helped me

develop a practice of

daily writing – one 

poem a day for almost 

six years. It could help 

me not lose focus as I

begin once more on

this infernal journey. I

won’t start with any

promises. I’ll just begin

with fingers crossed and

with viewing some videos

for the woefully unfit.
