About Me

Not-a-thinker living in beautiful Richmond, BC, Canada

Tuesday, April 9, 2013

A new idea - writing poetry. The first poem is dedicated to the feeling of self:

Finding this elusive sensation
Of quiet within one self
When your attention is inward
Wondering at the shimmering bliss,

Is easy - just stop and listen
To the feelings and thoughts inside
And ponder the fleeting ideas
With a mild surprise

Why do we need a reminder
From a friend or a yoga guru
To freeze and invite this moment
That brings us stability pool

Our lives will always be busy
Even when we try to relax
At a lakeside, or on a skytrain
In between our daily pursuits

I will make it a practice
To marvel at the train sounds
To notice the colour of sky
And my own interesting ideas

Now I need to stop writing
And I feel like this words' outpouring
Has reminded me of real poetry
That I also need to start enjoying
