I sat very distractedly this morning. I am having lots of thoughts of confusion, and trying to remember I am not my thoughts. And live rights actions, and my thoughts will follow.
Meditation Poem #19
thoughts lead me astray
my breath grounds me
to now
sea of chaos stirs
keep breathing
let it all go
a dog sits
and breathes
with two thoughts
pat me, pat me; feed me, feed me
I could learn a lot from a dog,
even how to sit, meditate
on singleness of focus
This poem was inspired by my own dogs and the wisdom of dogs advocated by fellow blogger Paul Handover: https://learningfromdogs.com/2017/12/06/life-and-dogs/

Meditating everyday and then writing a poem might be more challenging than I thought. I woke up late, but I sat for 15 minutes.
Meditation Poem #5
light shimmering on the walls
dancing like my fleeting thoughts
(My wall from my meditation cushion with the morning light dancing on the walls.)
