28 poems from yesterday (1)

I woke up yesterday morning for practice at 5 am as usual and the first 20 of these came out before I started. The others came during the practice. It felt very releasing… Afterwards I typed them up with a little polish and gave them titles… I wasn’t sure what to do with them so decided to post them here…

Here are the first 14…

  1. Find the essence

Let your open heart guide you
and
pulsate with life’s flow

  1. Pratipakshi Bhavanan

Positivity opens my flow -faster
Negativity closes my flow - slower
Learn to transform
Pratipakshi Bhavanan

  1. Essence

Look for the essence
of all things
and
enjoy it

  1. Essential nature

Take a deep breath.
Slow.
Close your eyes
Find the Stillness within
Connect

  1. Life’s soup

Let love guide you and be open to her flow
Immerse yourself completely within her wave-like pulse
The beat of your secret heart is one heart
Find the nectar in all things and realise
This life is for experience -
pleasure, pain, service, creation
And to find we are all divine
And in this one rich soup together

  1. Sine wave

The negative thoughts within me create destruction
Once realised I feel the contraction
But sometimes this is as necessary
As seeing the expnasion of all that is positive
Like a sinusoidal wave
Up and Down
Constant rhythm
So ride this wave
As natural as we are
Learn from it
Cultivate the right attitude to it
And know this as life

  1. Experiences in life

The wisdom of motorcycling
The meditation in running
The oneness of surfing the wave - the thrill of the ocean
The appreciation of the mountain - biking, snowboarding, hiking
The freedom of parchuting
The exhiliration of jumping 20ft on a bicycle
The peacefulness of walking
Connecting to Nature
The joy of driving a Mini
The experience of an-other
Being present in all
equals
life’s rich experieince

  1. Inaction In Action

Open my heart to service
No need for thanks
Just the joy in doing
Fully awake to the task
Alive to the experience
Then I feel her pulse
Then I feel open and at peace
Now I understand
Inaction in Action

  1. Give

Resistance does not serve you
In any shape or form
Find the pull, the pulse
Learn to give, too
But let the giving come through you
Not from you
And then there is so much more to give

  1. Cave time

Find your cave
Within society or without
Rejuvinate. Unlearn
Nourish your seed
then emerge slowly
And blossom in spring

  1. Magnolia

I remember Mother
Every time I see a Magnolia tree in bloom
And right now they are everywhere

  1. Mother

Your Will so strong
Your body useless
But still you adored life
And found richness
In all kinds of places

  1. Mother’s suffering

Crippled by a cruel disease
No control over movement of bowels
Suffering everywhere
Felt like an epoch
An ocean of discontent
And discomfort to everyone in that boat
But still we lived

  1. Willpower

I love the saying "where there is a will there is a way,
where there is no will there is no way"
My mother taught me this in her actions
even though she was crippled
And lived this way
Until she died. Young.
