Thoughts scatter
Like leaves in Autumn winds
Pain rises
Remember
Breathing
Ten thousand things
All
Flowing like a river down the mountainside
Rushing
I am a rock
In the river
Flowing
Over
Around
Through
A part

Breathing
     In
         Begins
              Contraction
Breathing
      Out
          Expansion
I am
     All Life
All Life
     I am
Darkness
     Becomes Light
Light
     Becomes Darkness
One
     Becomes Two
Two
     Becomes Whole

Breathing

Rhythm

Wuji

Still
All falls,
drains, seeps
into the depths
One
Unity
All
Rises Before Time
After Time
Now
Void
All Light
All Darkness
Still
Before Sound
After Sound
Now
Still

OctPoWrimo 2018 Planning

I am co-opting this blog a bit. I learned about October Poetry Writing Month from Pillowfort. 
It's been a good long while since I sat down and wrote poetry. I have a few poems scribbled here and there but this is a good opportunity for me to focus on poetry for a month at least.

Planning is not really a skill I own. But, I realize I needed some direction to take that first step. After some contemplation, I decided I will write these poems with a focus on my Qigong and Mindfulness experiences. A little verse of Tao so to speak. I also seem to need some sort of goal to help me keep my commitment. So, I'll publish these poems in an e-book.

There - said it so now I need to do it.

Point, focus, CLICK!
