IN PRAISE OF POETRY
Dear Friends
Many of us may not be particularly interested in Poetry, to write it or to go out of our way to read it. However, when we are Mindful – connecting to life in a direct perceptive way through our senses, then life in Poetry becomes both experienced and expressed.
My poetry below invites us to look, learn and live in this special way.

IN PRAISE OF POETRY
As we come to our senses
Through Mindful Knowing;
Through Receptive Awareness;
Through Conscious Clarity;
Through Perceptive Appreciation;
Our experience of life becomes the possibility of Poetry!
Poetry, like Mindfulness invites us to our senses;
To sense, see and feel;
To reflect, relate and connect with life in a special way.
Poetry finds many forms and functions;
Poetry exhibits many expressions and engagements;
Poetry shines and shows through all our senses.
Fine art is poetry for the eyes;
Beautiful music is poetry for the ears;
Fragrant scents are poetry for the nose.
Flavours of food are poetry for the tongue;
Movement of dance is dynamic poetry in motion for the body;
The written word is poetry for the heart;
Our Meditation is poetry for the Mind!
