Happy Gratitude! On the eve of our US holiday of appreciation, I give you this poem from my forthcoming book …
Heart Wide Open
Warm sun.
Deep breath.
Kitty purr.
Coffee gurgle.
Soft eyes.
Beating heart.
Soft heart.
Armor melted.
Open arms.
Embracing all.
Boundaries melting.
Open mind.
Open heart.
Quiet mind.
Quiet heart.
Recognition.
Realizing.
Beyond the beyond.
Heart wide open.
Mind in awe.
Surrendered.
In awe.
No rush to cover.
Or control.
Or contract.
Heart wide open.
Heart wide open.
(Excerpted from my forthcoming book, “Strong from Within: Simple perceptions and practices for returning to the joy of you”)
