Tame Your Mind


Place your fussy mind in a drawer. Hear the closing click.
Hang a favorite and weighty item. You don't need a key.
Listen for the jostling and grumbling inside.
Say, "Stay."

Put on your happy shoes and saunter out the door.
Let nature intrigue with its delights.
Trees will show their color.

Feel Gratitude release from tendrils of mind.
Go into your heart to flee into experience.




Discover your neighborhood: a gush of breeze, fresh earth and drift of lavender. Hear a Phoebe or crow's call.

Wander unit you have forgotten your mind.

Just take your time.  No need to rush.

Energize the spirit and play.

When you return, open the drawer
to a renewal of friendship.


"The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go." - Atisa Dipa
