Reminder

A Soft and Gentle Light ... Let It Be ... A Soft and Gentle Reminder -- February 2020, Kailua, HI, iPhone 11 Pro


A Soft and Gentle Reminder


In honor of Thich Nhat Hanh

I set up a meditation bell

Using his Plum Village app


Such that, every so often

It rings its soft and gentle chime 

To bring me back to the present moment


Actually, it doesn’t bring me back

It softly, and gently, reminds me

Such that I may choose


To stop and to breathe and to Be

Soft and gentle, mindful and present

Magically transported to the Now


To witness that alchemic change 

From a contracted and tense ego

To something soft and gentle, in an instant


It's really quite magical

Some might even say, miraculous

And here’s another benefit


I'm finding it quite astonishing 

Just how fast my life is flowing past me

When I’m not fully present


So how would you like to spend

Your one luminous Life?

Would you like a soft and gentle reminder?
