Inside ~ Meditation #13
Meditation #12
clouds turn into rain turn into spring flowers no birth no death
Yama
the mountain is a cat that keeps on napping
Flight
afraid of heights
I love to fly in my dreams
far away
above the earth
everything is clear

https://youtu.be/U1X7d8_coOw How is everyone?? For the past 3 days I've been catching up on sleep. Yes, it's delicious. I usually get insomniacal whenever I get stressed. However for some strange reason I've been sleeping like a baby? So the "goodness" out of this time -- I'm rested. I've been making bread, the quick breads like Irish Soda Bread and Focaccia because the stores were out of yeast. Guess more people are staying home making bread Also, my husband and I are taking the dogs for walks more and making silly homestyle cell phone Yoga videos. I was writing many poems on the Corona Pandemic but now I've had enough. Going back to "stream of consciousness" and see what streams out.

Nike
black cat

she can hardly walk or stand
death never gets

no matter how hard I try
her tiny body
relaxed into my arms
not a whimper
not a cry
gently, gently, gone

Hey there
You there,
take this gloom away
the sky is supposed
to be blue, not grey
a dismal
disappointing day
the social-distancing
party cancelled
the host is sick
her stomach hurts
then next, the tearful news
my veterinarian
can't fix Toto

You there,
heal my dog Toto
he's been my friend
for seventeen years
he has the right to live
as long as me
the price we pay
for precious loyalty
and unconditional love
quickly robbed away
true love is so sweet
true love doesn't last
true love breaks your heart
meditation #11 until
I have arrived
in the here and now
I am free
until….
the kids come home.
Meditation#10
a yogini
blossoms in the night
unbound
by the clarity of day
nightblooming jasmine
