Why can’t I sleep?

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #153

  1. How do my thoughts get processed into words?
  2. Or do my words spur thoughts?
  3. How do they interact
sometimes words just fail
to sync with overflowing thoughts
of inner turmoil

In response toReena’s Exploration Challenge #153

Her questions were,

  1. How do my thoughts get processed into words?
  2. Or do my words spur thoughts?
  3. How do they interact

My response to her questions, as to how thoughts brew into words and words blend the images in our mind,

spark640

At times they flow and blend
Like water colors on canvas
And at times get absorbed
Like ink on a blotting paper
Thoughts into words
And words into thoughts
A bustling two way road
Short of a steady guard rail
Flashing and beeping all way around
You see some, you look at some
You feel some and you let flow some
There’s a spark
One from the image or one from the word
But there’s always a spark
That catches the biggest and brightest fire,
Warms the mind, or on occasion, dies stifling.

This is my first attempt at writing in response…

It has been years, but we are assigned the same co-teaching class again. Echoes of past trauma arise, and with them the familiar tension and gut cramping.

But I am not the same as I was, then. I can practice relational Tai Chi. I am water.

It’s time to flow.

no discouragement
even experiencing
unfortunate news
take one breath, then another
and stay in the moment

Whom do you work with?

“Why should anyone want to shift these statues? They have been a major attraction for visitors to the museum, and pictures get splashed all across social media.” The Curator of the Museum was furious at unplanned moves. “Actually, Sir, we have shifted all the wax statues from the other side to another section….” The junior … Continue reading Whom do you work with?
