MINDFULNESS

I bet you thought I had disappeared from Blog Land, but I’m back, at least for today. Although, I haven’t managed to post here with any regularity, I’m hopeful that I can return with something new. Checking email, Facebook, on-line banking, all the things that keep me tied to the computer, are taking up too many precious hours. I’d much rather be spending it with family and friends or writing poems and stories and taking photographs. Because I’m still discovering many wonderful people, new places and things, I would like to share them with you. While I figure out what I will post here in the future, I’ll leave you with something I shared in writing class.

MINDFULNESS, THE WORK OF A LIFETIME

Writing lists and lists

Making notes about notes

Leaving the notes behind

One day you let the world go by

You forget to take the pictures

There’s a note unread on your desk

To finish that poem you started last summer

Too late for your last doctor's appointment

Too early for the next one

Timing!

Maybe, all we have are days upon days

Not scheduled on a calendar

Driving down the road

Walking in the grass

Through the trees

Under the stars

Living, learning, loving

Where it doesn’t matter

When you get there
