  • Stillness & Movement (Poem-PouncePunk Art Challenge)

    How to find a still mind?

    Try being aware of movement,

    The ever-flowing change that is always occurring.

    Take the body, for example.

    Even in the midst of the deepest meditation or dreamless state,

    There are infinite shifts taking place.

    Cells replace themselves; breath moves in and out; the heart beats; and so on.

    Similar processes happen across the physical world,

    From the most minute particles all the way to vaster aspects of slow relentless geologic change.

    Accepting this impermanence with equanimity

    And relinquishing the notion that this will stop in any way

    Provides a space to relax and rest with a sense of ease.

    This will also evolve but observe with detachment.

    Nothing (and everything) lasts forever. This need not cause suffering.

    Find the path to peace and joy.

  • The Dance (Poem)

    Do I sit here in quietness and contemplation?

    I can do that, yes.

    But right now I want to MOVE!

    I hear the music and the beat,

    And my body says dance, dance, dance

    While you’ve got this chance, chance, chance.

    And I feel the joy and the laughter

    All around me in the songs

    Healing all the wrongs

    (Not just mine but the world’s)

    I want to explode with wonder.
