……..a Senryu poem
11/10/24. 1 min read poetry
Don’t dwell in the past
Nor fret about the future
Live in the present
Let your focus be
On the awareness of being
At your present state
It could be sitting
It could be doing
It could be resting
When you drink your tea
When you take a stroll
When you lose your way
Be still and quiet
It is time to be pensive
And wisdom will flow

Just breathe rhythmically, relax your shoulders , calm and composure will then follow and endorphins will start to flow in your brain as your mind clears up the brain clutters , gently but resolutely, This is meditation from another perspective
