Ten-Finger Exercises

another relaxation

I don't want to write about the children's grief group tonight-- too much sadness. Instead, I'll share a relaxing exercise I found by writing a poem for a Monday challenge from an offsite blog. Her photos and interviews are wonderful, and I enjoyed writing to her prompt.

Floating, Not Adrift

Thoughts slip-slap gently against my mind,
moving me ever so slightly
into this idea and that…
Relishing the sunny day, I lie
idle in the shallows,
ripples lip-lapping my hollow sides,
prow nosed into sandy shore,
at most a tenuous hold on terra firma.
No rope ties me fast,
no anchor weighs me down.
Breathing in the moment,
letting it pass,
I am borne on the water
as on Spirit, held lightly,
always free to go.
