ANOTHER SLICE THEN
ANOTHER SLICE THEN
Obviate
All disappointment
Banish fear
Hope, desire
And expectation and look
Life’s a piece of cake
WORRYWART
WORRYWART
When assailed by worries it is helpful
to take a few moments to calm down
using deep breathing and/or meditation.
Then list all the things you can think of
that could go wrong or cause a problem.
Divide them into two separate columns.
Column One: those you can prevent,
prepare for, minimise or else control.
Write down exactly what you will do
regarding each item to neutralise it.
Column Two: those you cannot do
anything about. Allow yourself enough
time to calmly acknowledge each one.
Then let it go, visualising yourself
breathing it out of your system.
Repeat as many times as required.
THE MIDDLE WAY II
THE MIDDLE WAY II
On my guard
Against extremes
Not too conceited
But not too lacking
In self worth
Either
And one day
Perhaps to be
No longer concerned
Over this struggle
Simply at peace
With who I am
ARROWS
ARROWS
Arrows surround us
Few notice them
Fewer are drawn
Fewer follow them
Until they realise
Arrows just arrows
Neither the target
Nor the flight
Home once again

SERMON SANS MOUNT
SERMON SANS MOUNT
Learning
To understand
And overcome
Fear
May be
The most important
Hurdle to overcome
In life
Everything within us
That is not founded in love
Is founded in fear
Everything within us
That is not founded in fear
Is founded in love
KRISHNA’S CRYSTAL NECKLACE
KRISHNA’S CRYSTAL NECKLACE
Dismissing
As monotonous
A morning
A lifetime
Betrays lack of attention
Moment by moment
