Poetry to Inspire You
Criteria
as a barometer to happiness
we need to skate on a level surface
choosing paths that are smooth
slowing down when rough
finding that pond
for skating together
clearing the snow
then playing our games
sharpening our skates
practicing speed and then braking
teaching new arrivals
as we play out each day

Cooking the Overwhelm
stir the pot
see what is caught
burning on the edges
scrape it in
turn down the heat
let all simmer to perfection

Flexibility
to be aware of how we live
enhances our stability
are we in any way right now
restricted by not having flexibility?
it is oft okay to bend “our rules”
and try something new instead
benefitting by asking for others’ perspectives
gleaned from hearts before their heads
may our dance of life be flexible and fun
may we express our greatest desires
may we sweep and turn, bend and learn
new steps to this dance of life
