Inhale and Expire

Thanks Lin, it was a lovely little day of mutual support and laughs :)

Woohoo! I actually fell for the nonet as a form and enjoyed it :) and there was a lovely supportive nonet cameraderie on soup too :) I did consider an audio for this, but that spaced out feel you mention is real - felt hypnotic - so bizarre haha! Thank you for cheering me on :)

Thank you Andrea, it was fun :)

Thank you Paige :)

Haha! Yeah this poem doesn't come with an instruction manual, so might be considered dangerous practice lol - silky smooth :)

Hahahaha Lin, hilarious! Of all the ways to get carried away :) there is definitely a defining moment when getting up close and personal with consciousness and I had an attempt to capture it here - I think you're right - start and end word choices are crucial and I dived in without knowing where it would end up and kinda got away with it but perhaps just once - as the poem dictates lol thank you for your kind visit and interesting thoughts on this poem and of course the fun banter :)

I was just riffing on the word 'mote' and thinking of tiny things, almost like nano technology but organic for universal beings - it's a little choppy as I don't have the patience or perhaps vocabulary for the shape creation but it was fun to attempt. I imagine my reading up on Buddhism had some bearing on the imagery. Although I can amuse myself with word association and imagery of Derek Acorah and those spiritual dust motes often seen on the ghost hunter shows lol
