Untroubled Pathway

Smoothly worn, bumpy road- perfect path indeed

Beginning last, ending last- mindful objects

Acceptance, smile understanding

Roadway perfect- presence found

Outsider mind- object lost

Joyful peace mindfulness

Understanding arise

Purpose floats- breathing's tide

Fallen logs- special, rare

Seven fold log unknown

Mindful time- Joyful Peace

Choppy calm

Time bell-lost

Acceptance's touch -sparkling hints

Reading Backwards

Reading mindfulness

Mindful reading

Reading before meditation- mind 29 minutes till calm

Peaceful happiness just arrived

Buzzing doneness- learn something new

Carry it through- mindfulness

Everything mindful 

Better Late

Early morning powder tea- time mindful-less

Run fast - two hours late

Sledding- crocodile, rodent come

Fall twice approaching Good deeds

Coffee, Bagel- white walking, gym

Eating meditation- nearly impossible

Still Water- peaceful joy

Redlights  windows on forever

Tangram

Puzzles puzzles everywhere- waking puzzle overload

Easy solved, hard start?

Snowy day- much overblown

Peaceful joy breathing sleepy

Drifting mind, numbing foot

Getting Behind Being Behind

Zen not done, doing too fast

Yesterday's jobs run today's new stuff

Green tea, thick- water short

Small grinding pain just enough

Peaceful happiness comes goes comes goes...

Breathing focus better

Future bubbles popping progressively smaller

Waiting Game

Gym waiting, Panera waiting, car waiting till six

Waiting Zen's sake

Washington Mindfullness Center basement cold

Beginners sitting minds open told

Upstairs- noise, moving, center hard to find

Try again for comparison's regard

Wandering Kids

Tea finely powdered, strongly brewed

Kids hunting treasures now stored forever

Peaceful happiness, breaths all elude

Mind future bouncing- calmly brought back

Looking Past

Past awakened question- looking before tea

Reflections, fighting shadows- presence heard laughing

Touched one way- brought it all back

Presence in tea dregs- now thirty minutes touching breath

Peace, touch of joy- if only for instances

Winter Woods

Overlook a long gone creek, a tree died and fell. Edge of the log, leaves dry and cold.

Peace and happiness flow in and out.

Sounds of cars, deer, birds and squirrels.

Flow in and expand, out and contract- a little more added.

tiny grinding pain

Waking earlier automatically before the alarm. Tiny grinding pain is the find. Tea before pondering the start... yes, no, yes, no, no, no, yes..?

Looking for news of the imminent crash- looking for opportunities for all of that cash.

Ponder the sickly sweet rhyming mind, questioning its cause... ignore it and go.

In slowly, peacefully breathing it went. Thirty minutes passed quickly with fewer bumps, jumps and restarts. Calming and calmer minds fighting much less... on the whole and in parts it was nearly the best one yet.

put into words experiences that have no name

Tea before beginning. Powdered, green, bitter, hot and slowly warming. Sip after sip until there is none.

Finding peace and a touch of joy.

Another sip and almost not warm. Done just in time, yet bitterness remains. It will come in.

Full of thought and pain with fleeting regard for the breath and taste which came in. Glimpses of acceptance here and there brought focus on the sensations.
