I Love Meditation Mediating Mindful Poems

A mind can be renewed if a mind can be observed What exaggerated stories, what web of lies do I tell myself, When things go wrong? Do I go on and on ... about what I deserved! Enter the ancient practice, I have begun to bring out of my back shelf Because I assumed Jesus prayed but unlike Buddha, refused to meditate ... Assumptions confuse worldviews - refusing The Spirit to have all of myself! When a younger person says, "I admire this or that trait In you," O the trees look their greenest, even RED lights flash their rightest ... Recall living WORDS of LIFE, and do not receive flying "gifts of hate!" It seems hard work; as with poems that pass the basic writing test: Refusing to repeat negative words, from friend, family or foe. Breathe deep And meditate on how we breathe, on oxygen, sifted expertly from the rest ... A wonder that Oxygen alone passes nostril to enter each cell Deep ... Via astute alveoli, who turn off every other gas! Turn off poison (bad words) We cannot replay them in our minds, over and over, even in sweet sleep! Jesus, Jimmy Carter, Mandela ... do not hit "REPEAT" on words that disturbed Their disciples: Forgiveness is That Faith For Future Fruitful Survival - a must - To avoid poisoning all life on Earth: "Watch & Pray. Reject recycled word-turds" As I stand before the Cross, marvelling at the dazzling divinity of agape love!

Amen Sir Charlie ... you also got it when CT Wingfield died "prematurely" ... the only comfort I could share with his son, Phillip, was with inadequate words: "Forgive God." It is deeper than the word F O R G I V E. Forgiveness is a secret passage to abundance, whole-ness, healing, & making KINGDOM here as it is THERE. shalom, shalom Friend & Poet

Good Morning Anil. The opening stanza truly states to me that we are not entitled to anything and should not think we have entitlement coming our way. Your entry is most thought provoking. That is a plus. Have a wonderful day. Shalom always.
