Mindfulness

It’s all glass half full

or glass half empty

with me.

For some it’s the chicken

or the egg.

Or flip the other

side of the coin

if you can’t always get what you want.

If you can’t boil it down

to twenty-five words or less

maybe I could paint you a picture

worth a thousand words.

Jesus wept.

You have to drag the mountain to Mohammed.

You can lead a horse to water,

but you can’t beat it with a stick.

The pen is mightier,

but it’s not your father’s AK-47.

You could have had a V8.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

but it’s darkest before the dawn.

It may all have been said before,

but you haven’t walked to the river in my shoes.

As the Buddha said,

close your mouth and empty your mind

of all that nonsense,

and breathe.
