Happy Poem

I wrote this poem today after a brilliant weekend away on a Buddhist retreat (you may notice it is totally different from my last very negative poem!).

Ok here goes:



Watering the soul,

in a garden of happy people.



Soil for the heart,

in a choir of singing friends.



Sunlight for the mind,

in the wisdom of sharing everything.



Growth for the spirit,

in the crystal meal of time.

This is indeed a beautiful poem. How wonderful that you got away on a Buddhist retreat. I used to spend a lot of time at a nearby Vipassana center. In my first year out of work with CFS, I took several classes there that met during the day. For whatever reason, in subsequent years I have not felt like I had the stamina to do this anymore.

In any case, it's lovely to read this poem today. :)
