Learning To Still the Mind

What do I do
When there's nothing to do
I just sit and wonder
And wonder and ponder
Then I gaze into space
Which is no disgrace
Cause silence comes in
And takes me within
As peace comes to me
And my mind is made free
I feel so much sweetness
A sense of completeness
Just content to be
In serenity



A collaboration between Vera and Peter Duggan
I started it and Peter finished it

Hi SO, yes I agree the mind is a tricky place especially at night when you are trying to sleep, sometimes it plays havoc, so many things go through it, I try to practice what Peter preaches but it doesn't work with me, anyway that's life as they say, take care.......Vera
