Hello
I have just started a You-Tube channel called ‘Slow in the City’, which is me reciting some of these blog entries.
If you are interested here’s my first offering:
Traffic jamming Light and Grace
Fuming beyond
this zebra crossing dripping throng
this head down, striding long
Gortex sway of human form
as wiper blades scud and grate
across this screen that separates
my heart from spleen from
gentle grace of
worried lines on
brethren’s face.
And yet.
unknowingly still I bow, yes
beyond this dashboard reach
for conditioning air
this rain filled rage begins to clear
as Lightening weight accelerates
and soft green shoots now reappear.
Wishing well
May foot steps lay light upon this precious earth
May meadows sprout sweetly within wakeful ease
May worries be welcomed with the warmest of smile
To join lip upon lip upon this evening breeze.
May quiet souls save us from amplified stress
May sharp words find stillness and suffering stall
May thoughts upon thoughts upon feelings and sense
Release, to float freely like leaves in the fall.
May conflict disperse upon in-flowing breath
May out-flows of love bathe tired worn torn flesh
May waves of abundance soothe and replete
While rays of vast darkness shine bright in our deep .
